868 Estate Vineyards


One of the smaller Loudoun Heights operations, this place is best known for its farm-to-table Grandale Restaurant (mains $25 to $32, open noon to 9pm Friday and Saturday, 11am to 6pm Sunday). Winemaker Carl DiManno is particularly proud of his chardonnay (especially the Pétillant Naturel Chardonel).
