Boxwood Winery

Tour this beautiful winery located at Boxwood, a National Historic Landmark, which is one of the earliest established farms in the Middleburg area. Boxwood was originally settled in the eighteenth century and became a well-known horse farm, the home of General Billy Mitchell, a pioneer of military aviation, and now the site of John Kent Cooke’s Boxwood Winery. This state-of-the-art winery was designed by acclaimed Washington, D.C. architect, Hugh Newell Jacobsen. The 16 acre vineyard was designed by renowned viticulturist Lucie Morton, a Virginia resident. Boxwood Winery produces red wine in three styles in the Bordeaux tradition. Stephane Derenoncourt, one of Bordeaux’s great winemakers, became a consultant to Boxwood Winery in 2006.
