Fauquier County
5 wineries · 78 Governor's Cup awards · 2018–2026
Fauquier County straddles two worlds: its western half sits inside the Middleburg Virginia AVA (those wineries appear under that listing), while the wineries shown here are in the county's eastern and central portions — around Warrenton, Markham, and along the Route 29 and I-66 corridors. The terrain is transitional between the flatter Prince William piedmont and the rolling Middleburg horse country, and these wineries tend to be more spread out than the AVA's tighter cluster. Easy access from Washington DC makes them popular day-trip destinations despite sitting outside the formal AVA boundary.
