Founded in November of 1954 and headquartered in Woodinville, WA. Ste. Michelle Wine Estates is a premium wine company in the U.S. The company, located outside of Seattle, Washington, has a distinguished history that dates back eighty years to 1934. Wines under the Ste. Michelle label were first introduced in 1967, and since that time the company has expanded its vineyard holdings to more than three thousand and nine hundred acres in Washington, Oregon and California. Today its 'String of Pearls' wine portfolio represents owned or imported brands that demonstrate the producers' unwavering commitment to creating distinctive, quality wines from authentic estate vineyards.
We are a family owned vineyard located on 306 acres of property in Northern Virginia, just 5 miles south of the town of Leesburg. We feature over 85 acres of French varietals and are producing award-winning wines. Our knowledgeable staff delivers exceptional hospitality via two unique tasting rooms and our picturesque scenery provide the backdrop to some the most exquisite weddings and private events in the DC metro area.
Catoctin Creek® was founded by Becky and Scott Harris in 2009 as the first legal distillery in Loudoun County since before Prohibition. We are located in Purcellville, Virginia, in the heart of the Loudoun Valley. Virginia is the birthplace of American whiskey, and at Catoctin Creek, we faithfully dedicate ourselves to that tradition, producing Virginia's most awarded whisky—Roundstone Rye!
The name "Catoctin" is a regional name. Pronounced Ka-TOCK-tin, the name derives from the Indian tribal name "Kittocton" which, legend has it, meant "place of many deer". Catoctin describes a range of mountains and the eponymous creek which flows picturesquely past the distillery and into the Potomac River and Chesapeake Watershed.
At Catoctin Creek, we believe in high quality food and spirits. We source our grain and fruit from local sources, free of pesticides and chemical additives that would come through in the spirits we produce. The results are the finest, cleanest spirits possible, with the greatest attention to detail in every single bottle we produce.
