![]() The mansion served as the headquarters of the Union General during the Battle of Bull Run and later as a field hospital. The remains of the Hillwood Mansion, the original farmhouse where the winery now stands. A nice feature is the “adults only” seating area and a separate area that caters to families with children. It was a beautiful afternoon, so most of the visitors were seated at one of the many picnic tables or outdoor seating near the tasting building. Located on a part of the Manassas Battlefield Park, the winery offers live music, a food truck, and plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. The Winery at Bull Run offered live music and a comedy show (admission charged) so we decided to visit and enjoy an afternoon of country music. We were looking for a winery that had live music on a Sunday afternoon. We will be drinking that bottle this evening! Thanks once again to Visit Loudoun and their Pride in the Vines program for reminding us of this gem of a winery. Jo, the white wine drinker even enjoyed the Chambourcin. ![]() The wines are top notch, the 3 whites and the 4 reds we tried were all excellent. It was every bit as personal as our first visit. Although they now have a beautiful Amish tasting room, we were still greeted by Bonnie at the door and throughout our seated tasting we had the pleasure of being entertained in conversation with Bill who explained both the history of the farm and the metamorphosis of his vineyard. We had our tasting in the basement of their home, a very personal approach. ![]() The first time we visited Zephaniah Farm Winery was probably a decade ago and they had no tasting room. In this case it wasn’t our first visit but things were much different this time. This wedding at the height of summer was the ultimate summer solstice celebration! Juanita and Chris, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day.It’s two days in a row that Pride in the Vines has brought Jo and I to a special winery experience. So if you’re not sure whether or not to do something silly or not often seen, do it! Dinner was served al fresco under the string lights - a feat no couple had pulled off before at Stone Tower Winery! And I have to mention the crowd pleaser of the night: Root beer floats, a particular favorite of the bride. Juanita walked down the aisle alone, accompanied by the classy string quartet, that pulled on many heart strings for sure. I loved (and admired) how Juanita and Chris found a way to marry tradition and their own unique flair, all with impeccable taste. The rolling Bull Run Mountains provided a gorgeous backdrop, and the easy-going luxury of the winery created quite a setting to celebrate. ![]() It was my first time working at Stone Tower Winery and I’m already itching to go back! This venue knows how to do weddings in style. The lush scenery and vines only added to the romance and the celebration. Oh, and to see them so in love and excited to be surrounded by their nearest and dearest. Juanita and Chris were such a pleasure to work with, and I was so excited to see their vision come to life. I knew this wedding would be amazing, but truly, everything about this day was perfect.
