The Meriwether Wine Portfolio: Three Wineries, One Rare Opportunity

Some opportunities cannot be assembled twice. The Meriwether Wine Portfolio is one of them: an operating collection of three established Virginia wineries and a beloved historic farm store, offered whole as a single going concern. This is not a country house or a parcel of land. It is a working enterprise—vines in the ground, wine in barrel, brands with a loyal following, and a place in Virginia's wine story shaped over three decades.
Offered at $12,800,000, the portfolio brings together roughly 43 acres across Prince William and Fauquier counties, all within about an hour of Washington, DC, and drawing on one of the country's most affluent visitor markets. Rarely does an opportunity of this breadth come to market as one.
Four destinations, one portfolio
Effingham Manor & Winery

In Nokesville, this anchor of the portfolio sits on approximately 12.8 fee-simple acres. A registered historic landmark dating to circa 1767, it pairs a stately manor house with a modern winery and an event center that seats up to 175 guests.
Pearmund Cellars

In Broad Run, Pearmund spans about 25 acres, with roughly 13.9 acres of net vineyard, a 5,980-square-foot winery, tasting room, and barrel room. Its Chardonnay-led program is rooted in Meriwether Vineyard, regarded as Virginia's oldest Chardonnay planting.
The Farm Store

Also in Broad Run, the Farm Store occupies a circa-1743 farmhouse on five acres and serves as a multi-winery tasting venue for all three brands—a single, storied destination where the full portfolio is poured.
Vint Hill Craft Winery
In Warrenton, this boutique producer is set within the former Army listening post at Vint Hill Farm Station, held on a leasehold that runs through 2034.

A going concern, not a blank field
The value here is the operating whole. A new owner does not begin from bare ground; they step into momentum. Production facilities, tasting rooms, an event venue, inventory, and equipment convey with the sale—and, most valuable of all, so do the brands and the audiences they have earned. Wine is already aging. Guests already arrive. The names are already known.

That is what sets a going concern apart from a real estate transaction. The buyer acquires not only land and buildings, but a functioning Virginia wine business, offered whole. Alcohol licensure passes by application to the Virginia ABC by the purchaser—a straightforward step in a transition that is otherwise turnkey.
A legacy worth continuing
Built over three decades, these labels have become part of the fabric of Northern Virginia wine country. Meriwether Vineyard's founding Chardonnay planting gave the region one of its earliest and most enduring benchmarks, and the reputation that followed was earned bottle by bottle, season by season. For the right steward, this is a chance to carry a respected story into its next chapter rather than to start one from scratch.
Representation equal to the opportunity

An offering of this caliber calls for representation to match it. Peter Leonard-Morgan, an Associate Broker with Hunt Country Sotheby's International Realty in Middleburg, advises on estates, vineyards, and the complex transactions where land, operations, and heritage intersect. Licensed in Virginia and Delaware, he brings command of vineyard operations, land use, and multi-property assembly to a sale that is far more than the transfer of a deed.
Through the global reach of Sotheby's International Realty, the portfolio is positioned before qualified buyers and investors worldwide—discreetly, and with the presentation an enterprise of this stature deserves.
