Nine minutes. That’s the approximate drive time from Brambleton to the new Old Farm Winery at Hartland, just southwest of Ashburn. Even for residents in Lansdowne and the Route 7 corridor, it’s just a 20-minute drive.
“My wife and I love going to try different wineries in the area, especially ones that are close to us in Ashburn,” said real estate agent Dan Harris, who lives in the Broadlands neighborhood with his wife, Stephanie, and their two children.
The Harrises heard about Old Farm on social media shortly after it officially opened in October 2021. They decided to check it out. They were impressed by how complete it was for a new winery – food trucks, live music and, of course, a variety of wines. “I liked the Chardonnay and the rosé,” Dan Harris said.
Aptly named, Old Farm Winery sits on a 35-acre property in Aldie that can be traced to the 1700s – including a house that dates to the 1800s, based on its construction, and an older barn that stretches to the late 1700s or early 1800s.
That history proved to be an exciting foundation for the new winery — and the new slate of wines it has unveiled in its first year. Click here to read the rest of the story from our partner publication — Ashburn Magazine.
