This scenic winery (and brewery!) is one of many located in Fauquier County, however this one is arguably the county's most festive. The land here is sprawling and typical of northern Fauquier County open-country birding. One should expect species associated with hedgerows, fields, and vineyards. With plenty of open sky, raptors should be frequently encountered here throughout the year, and especially during fall migration. Barn Owls have been reported from the silos nearby, so en evening encounter isn't out of the question. This hotspot was created to consolidate sightings from this frequently-visited winery.
Accessibility: Open year round. Monday - Thursday 11:00 am - 6:00 pm; Friday 11:00 am - 9:00 pm; Saturday 11:00 am - 6:00 pm; Sunday 10:00 am - 6:00 pm. Wineries often have seasonal hours that vary.
