Eric and Debbie opened Hidden Brook winery in 2002, but they have been growing grapes on the property since 1999.
The tasting room is in a beautiful cabin they built themselves over the three year period after the first planting. The day we visited the power was out (high winds), so please forgive the darker than usual pictures. I really like the spacious simplicity of the tasting room, plenty of places to sit and enjoy a bottle of wine and the roaring fire.
Debbie actually did the pouring for us, which was nice to get her insight into the wines. They tend to produce sweeter wines than those usually finds in Loudoun County, in fact two of the nine wines we tried were dessert wines. They also produce a Chardonnay and a Vidal Blanc as well a Chambourcin (both standalone and blended with the Vidal Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Hidden Brook is a great place to come in from out of the cold and enjoy a light bottle of wine and some cheese.
