Producing an award-winning Petit Manseng, this winery between Winchester and Leesburg is a wonderful lunch stop due to its spectacular location at the crest of a 950ft hill commanding sweeping views over the countryside. Grab a terrace table and enjoy a glass of fruity white with bruschetta ($17), flatbread ($14 to $18) or baked brie ($14). Live music on Saturday.
