868 Estate Vineyards: A Turnkey Winery in the Heart of Loudoun Wine Country

Opportunities to acquire a fully operating Virginia winery — brand, vines, facilities, and inventory intact — are exceedingly rare. 868 Estate Vineyards, offered at $7,500,000, is exactly that: a turnkey estate on 120 acres in western Loudoun County, roughly an hour from Washington, D.C., and ready for its next steward to step in without missing a harvest.

Listed by Peter Leonard-Morgan of Hunt Country Sotheby's International Realty — Northern Virginia's most trusted name in winery and vineyard sales — 868 is a genuine original: an established, award-winning operation with both a devoted following and meaningful room to grow.

A proven, going concern

Founded in 2012, when three families purchased the historic Grandale Farm, 868 was built around a simple, enduring idea: Wine. Community. Music. Art. More than a decade on, that vision has matured into one of Loudoun's most beloved destinations — and, for a buyer, a business with real momentum rather than a blank canvas.

The sale conveys as two LLCs encompassing all of the real estate, the vineyard and winemaking equipment, the machinery, and the wine inventory. In practical terms, the doors stay open on day one.

The estate's winemaking credentials are current and considerable. At the 2025 Virginia Governor's Cup, 868 earned gold medals for its 2022 Chardonnay, 2022 Meritage, and 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, along with silvers for its 2022 Grandale and 2022 Viognier — building on an earlier Governor's Cup gold for its Vidal Blanc Passito. The 21-acre vineyard yields a diverse portfolio, from Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Tannat to Viognier, Petit Manseng, and Nebbiolo, producing roughly 3,500 cases each year.

Facilities built to welcome

At the center of the property is a state-of-the-art winery with a steel-tank fermentation room, oak-barrel cellar, and case storage, alongside a spacious tasting room, a covered pavilion, and a pergola framing views toward the Blue Ridge. The former Grandale Farm Restaurant — with its full commercial kitchen — stands ready to reopen, an immediate avenue to grow revenue through culinary programming and private events. A circa-1840 four-bedroom manor house, awaiting restoration, and a winemaker's cottage round out the improvements.

And with only 21 of the 120 acres under vine, the balance of the land offers a rare canvas: additional plantings, agritourism, hospitality, or a private estate compound.

A community fixture — see it in full swing

The clearest measure of 868's brand equity is the crowd it draws. On Sunday, September 6, 2026, the estate hosts LoCo Fest 2026, its ninth annual charitable music festival — a full day, noon to 9 p.m., of fifteen Loudoun County bands, local wine and beer, and food trucks, rain or shine.

Over its history, LoCo Fest has channeled more than $90,000 in instruments and equipment to area musicians, schools, and community programs. For a prospective owner, it is a chance to experience the property at its most alive; for everyone else, it is simply one of the best days on the Loudoun calendar. Tickets are available here.
