Rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational 14-acre boutique winery and vineyard estate in the heart of prestigious Waterford, Virginia. Offering a warm, authentic farming feel paired with scenic pastoral views, Carriage House Wineworks features a proven production engine: 6 acres of mature vineyard producing award-winning vines, a standalone 2,000 sq. ft. winery facility, and the turnkey infrastructure to scale your vision immediately. There is something truly special about a working winery that doesn't feel like a corporate venue, and award-winning Carriage House Wineworks is exactly that. Just one mile from the historic heart of Waterford, this 14-acre estate offers rare, entry-level access into the prestigious Loudoun County wine industry. It is the perfect opportunity for someone who wants to embrace the vintner lifestyle without the overwhelming scale of a massive commercial operation. The land itself is serene, with 6 acres of high-quality, estate-grown vines at Quartz Creek Vineyard and The property's rolling hills are surrounded by several other local vineyards, although this is the only winery in the immediate vicinity. Operationally, the estate is completely turnkey and ready for the next harvest. The 2,000-square-foot tasting room is clean, fresh, and welcoming, while the separate 700-square-foot production barn conversion is perfectly sized for boutique winemaking. When the weekend crowds arrive, three large stone and concrete patios provide plenty of space for guests to enjoy the award-winning Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc. There is a newly remodeled event room at the rear of the Tasting Room for small private events or educational classes. The sale is designed to be a "business-in-a-box," including more than $400,000 in winemaking equipment, tractors, and a library of gold-medal-winning inventory. The winery produces about 500 cases of wine per year, and sells about half its fruit to repeat local winery customers. The new owner can expand production capability by retaining the fruit for their own use. The residence matches the simple charm of the winery, offering 3,400 square feet of comfortable, updated living space. It's a home designed for relaxing after a day in the vines, featuring a lovely front porch and a three-season screened porch in the back. Practicality hasn't been overlooked either, with a whole-house generator and a durable metal roof providing peace of mind. In addition, the property contains a piece of local history: an authentic, pre-Civil War stone barn and silo on the Loudoun County Heritage Register (pending). While the current owners have left it as a picturesque backdrop, a new owner could find incredible creative uses for this space as a private cellar or a signature event gallery. Whether you are a scientist at heart or an aspiring entrepreneur, this is a real-value opportunity to own a productive, manageable winery in the most historic corner of DC's Wine Country.
