Representing the Meriwether Vineyards Portfolio: A Rare Chapter in Virginia Wine Country

The full sweep of Pearmund Cellars: vineyard, winery, and residence set across twenty-five acres in Broad Run, Virginia.

Every so often a property crosses my desk that is less a listing than a piece of the region's living history. The Meriwether Vineyards portfolio is one of those. It is my privilege to represent this collection on behalf of Hunt Country Sotheby's International Realty, and to see it draw the attention of both the Washington Business Journal and Northern Virginia Magazine in the same week is a fitting reflection of how singular it truly is.

Offered at $12.8 million, the portfolio brings together three established wineries, a beloved farm store, and the land, buildings, and operating assets that have made them a fixture of Northern Virginia's wine country. For an investor, an established vintner, or a family drawn to the vineyard life, opportunities of this scale and provenance simply do not come to market often.

What the offering includes

At its heart is Pearmund Cellars in Broad Run, twenty-five acres in Fauquier County anchored by fourteen acres of chardonnay and a nearly 6,000-square-foot winery with a tasting room, production building, and a barrel room framed by a glass viewing wall. A two-bedroom-and-a-half-bath residence sits on the property, making it as much a home as a business.

Where the day slows down — Pearmund's rear deck and outdoor seating, part of the Meriwether Vineyards portfolio.

Nearby, Vint Hill Craft Winery occupies a beautifully restored barn within the former Army signals station at Vint Hill—a hundred-barrel production facility with a tasting room and an upper-level museum that keeps the site's remarkable military history alive.

Where history is part of the pour — Vint Hill Craft Winery rises from the former Vint Hill Farms Station, once a WWII Army signals post. A rare property where the story is written into the land itself.

Then there is Effingham Manor & Winery in Nokesville, a landmark whose story begins in 1767. Its roughly thirteen acres include a dedicated winery and an event center that welcomes up to 175 guests, with a tasting room, barrel room, and covered patio that make it one of the region's most gracious places to gather.

Effingham Manor, a Virginia landmark since 1767 — where centuries of history now welcome guests as a gracious winery and event estate.

Tying the collection together is the Pearmund Farm Store, five adjoining acres set around a circa-1743 farmhouse, where visitors can find retail offerings and taste the wines of all three estates under one roof.

Why this matters for the region

What makes this portfolio compelling is not simply its acreage or its revenue, but its stewardship of place. These are properties where land, heritage, and enterprise are inseparable—exactly the kind of stewardship I care most about in my practice. Buildings that date to the eighteenth century, vineyards that have shaped their corner of Fauquier and Prince William counties, and a hospitality tradition that has introduced countless visitors to Virginia wine: all of it now ready for its next chapter.

A closer look at Effingham's history — the manor's story reaches back to 1767, and it's told right here in bronze.

That is the way I have always approached real estate—not as a transaction, but as the careful transition of a place from one caretaker to the next. A portfolio like Meriwether asks for exactly that kind of thoughtful hand.

For a fuller picture of the offering, I'd encourage you to read the two features that prompted this note:

"The portfolio includes three wineries, a farm store, two estates and wine inventory across Fauquier and Prince William counties." — Washington Business Journal, "Meriwether winery portfolio hits the market"

"The property sits within a former top-secret Army signals station. Within a restored barn is a tasting room and upper-level museum that displays uniforms, wartime posters, and artifacts." — Northern Virginia Magazine, "3 Northern Virginia Wineries Hit the Market"

If you would like to understand the full scope of what the Meriwether Vineyards portfolio represents—or simply to talk through what it takes to own and operate a working vineyard in Hunt Country—I would welcome the conversation.
