Fleetwood Farm Winery
January 13, 2024. We decided to squeeze-in our first winery visit of 2024 in advance of a predicted Polar Vortex arriving in the Nation’s Capital early next week. The heavy rains from earlier in the week gave way to a crisp, bright, breezy day that promised well for a return trip to Fleetwood Farm Winery.

On a rise above the parking lot is the 1765 Federal-style manor house originally built by William Ellzey. Also called “Peggy’s Green,” the house is on the National Register of Historic Places.
