About Loudoun
The wine industry is expanding rapidly. High demand for quality grapes from area wineries has led to increased revenues for independent growers. A well-managed vineyard on a suitable site can generate an annual net income of $5000 per acre.
The Loudoun County government strongly supports agricultural industries. Prospective and new growers enjoy assistance from the offices of Cooperative Extension, Economic Development, Building and Development, and Mapping.
Loudoun growers benefit from the solid network of local growers in the Loudoun Winegrowers Association.
2006 Virginia Grape Crop Report
Commercial grape acreage and production data are collected annually by the National Agricultural Statistics Service. In Virginia, this is done through the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The 2006 Commercial Grape Report is now available on-line.
