Winery Owners
P-J and John Lawrence
Our love of wine began with a visit to Napa in 1986. Our vacations over the ensuing decades were almost always to beautiful wine destinations throughout the U.S. and Europe. Residing in Northern Virginia since 1988, we experienced the amazing evolution of wine in the state and began enjoying and collecting Virginia wines. In 2011-12 we attended the Saturday viticulture and enology classes at Piedmont Virginia Community College in Charlottesville. This is where we became aware of the "Be a Winemaker" program offered at Vint Hill Craft Winery at the time, and when our idea of opening a winery began.
This program allowed us to experience all aspects of winemaking from picking out unwanted elements (i.e., unripe berries) from freshly harvested fruit...through fermentation...then barrel aging...then blending & bottling the finished, and delicious, wines. Sharing these bottles with the wine lovers & wine-savvy members of family...and friends...and observing their amazement, solidified our belief in and the desire to be involved in the Virginia wine industry. After an 18-month search we purchased our property here off the country road that is VA-704 in October of 2017.
Winemaking
Passion and Science
Ashton Lough's extensive expertise in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and his amazing palate combined with his passion for winemaking, has been instrumental in our success. Thanks to his efforts, we have proudly earned accolades in various prestigious competitions such as the American Wine Society, Virginia Governor's Cup and the Loudoun Wine Awards. Our wines are crafted with a focus on balance, meticulously achieving the perfect concentrations of fruit acidity, and tannins. We invite you to experience the award-winning quality that defines our winery.
