Boxwood Estate Winery

Boxwood Estate Winery is an acclaimed estate in Middleburg, Virginia, set in the heart of horse country. The winery is the realization of proprietor John Kent Cooke’s long held dream. He is known as the former owner and president of the NFL Washington Redskins, and he has channeled that passion into a focused, high quality wine program rooted in the terroir of the Middleburg Virginia AVA. The estate specializes in Bordeaux inspired blends that highlight classic varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and sometimes Malbec. Wines often show structure, freshness, and polished oak influence, with a complementary dry rosé that has become a regional favorite. Visitors can expect thoughtfully crafted flights that showcase the range from approachable blends to age worthy bottlings. Guests typically enjoy tastings in a contemporary setting with views of the vineyards, and the winery hosts seasonal events and club releases. Reservations are recommended on busy weekends for the best experience. A members program offers perks such as first access to limited releases and special pricing, and private or small group experiences may be available by prior arrangement.
