By: Author Katie

Posted on Published: March 16, 2022  - Last updated: March 28, 2022

Tucked away in Loudoun County, just an hour from Washington DC, is the beautiful and historic Virginia town of Middleburg, one of Virginia’s hidden gems.

Middleburg is a center for wine, hunting, and luxury country living. Virginia’s hunt country surrounds this town with rolling hills, rustling streams, and picturesque horse farms. There are many things to do in Middleburg, from antiquing to wine tasting and from history tours to golfing.

Here are nine of the best.

How to enjoy Middleburg and the surrounding horse country

Jackie Kennedy loved visiting Middleburg as the first lady, and you’ll soon see why. The town is quaint and picturesque, with 18th- and 19th-century architecture. Many buildings are now home to shops, art galleries, and restaurants. The streets are lined with trees that provide welcome shade in the summertime heat.

1. Go shopping along Washingon Street in the historic downtown

Washington Street is a classic small-town main Street. It has a half-mile-long layout with shops, restaurants, and galleries on both sides. This makes it the perfect place to stroll and shop.

Washington Street is home to various businesses, including boutiques, general stores, and restaurants. The Fun Shop is a general store-meets-department store with everything from children’s toys to gourmet goodies. If you’re looking for something specific, they’re likely to have it. Pick up a tailored suit at Highcliffe Clothiers or a summery skirt at Lou Lou Boutiques in the nearby Fun Shop and Christmas Sleigh.

2. Visit the National Sporting Library & Museum

The National Sporting Library & Museum is located in Middleburg, Virginia. It celebrates the rich cultural tradition of country pastime pursuits, including angling (fishing), shooting, horsemanship, steeplechasing (racing horses over fences), and foxhunting (hunting foxes with packs of hounds). The library has an extensive collection of materials related to these activities, including books, periodicals, artwork, and archival materials.

The National Sporting Library and Museum is a must-see attraction for visitors to Middleburg. The library has been open since 1965 and contains a variety of resources for those interested in the history of the sport. Some past signature exhibits have included Afield in America: 400 Years of Animal and Sporting Art, which showcased sporting art from the 16th century to the present day, and A Gentleman’s Game: Baseball in the British Isles which explored baseball’s development in Great Britain.

The library is open year-round Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm.

3. Sample Drinks at Mount Defiance Cidery and Distillery

Defiance Cidery and Distillery is a relative newcomer to the cider scene, opening in 2014. However, they have quickly made a name for themselves with their traditional farmhouse blends of dry cider, infused with delicious flavors like fresh ginger and five pepper.

The cidery produces a variety of co-fermented ciders, which are available for tasting at the facility throughout the year. The distillery focuses on Revival classic spirits, focusing on pre-Prohibition “lost spirits” and favorites that date back to the region’s Colonial era.

The Mt. Defiance Cidery and Distillery is a great place to visit if you’re looking for something fun to do in Middleburg. Not only do they have a delicious restaurant and lovely tasting room. But they also have a gift shop where you can buy all sorts of local products.

4. Dine at The Red Fox Inn and Tavern

The Red Fox Inn and Tavern is a historic landmark in downtown Middleburg. It offers visitors a chance to experience traditional Virginia cuisine in a rustic tavern setting. The food is hearty, and the atmosphere is cozy and inviting.

It was established in 1728 by Robert “King” Carter III and is inspired by four centuries of Virginia hunt country tradition. The inn features 18 guest rooms, a restaurant, bar, meeting spaces, and an outdoor patio. It offers romantic guest rooms fitted with traditional Piedmont furnishings and unique weddings and social events.

The Red Fox inn has a delicious restaurant on the first floor that serves American cuisine. The restaurant has a bar that serves alcoholic beverages, and the inn also offers package deals that include meals, drinks, and accommodations.

5. Take in the picturesque scenery

Really, Middleburg is most famous just for being beautiful. If you aren’t interested in historic buildings or horses, you’ll still love walking around the downtown and driving through the surrounding countryside.

There are rolling hills, farms, and charming old buildings around every turn. You can see the Blue Ridge and Bull Run mountains in the distance. It’s breathtaking.

6. Go on a horse farm tour

The Hunt Country Stable Tour is a unique event every May in Middleburg, Virginia. The tour takes you through Upperville, and The Plains, Virginia. It is an incredibly special event to explore horse farms and facilities in Middleburg, Virginia.

Note: This is a hugely popular and crowded event . Traffic will be crazy, and hotels will book up a year in advance.

7. Saddle Up For A Horseback Ride

Middleburg is the hunt capital of Virginia, and if you want to try horseback riding for the first time, there’s no better place.

The Salamander Resort is a great place to visit for horseback riding. They offer lessons in dressage, show jumping, and hunting. You can also take a trail ride through the beautiful Virginia countryside.

Horseback riding is the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of nature while getting some exercise. It’s also an excellent opportunity to spend time with friends or family. However, please be aware that weather conditions can change quickly, so always be prepared for rain or other surprises.

8. Relax at Salamander Resort & Spa

Salamander Resort & Spa is a 5-star luxury spa hotel located in Middleburg, Virginia. The resort features luxurious accommodations, world-class amenities, and an award-winning spa, making it ideal for relaxing and rejuvenating. It offers a free car service to/from anything within a 5-mile radius of the property, making it the perfect destination for a relaxing getaway.

9. Visit the cozy tasting room at Boxwood Estate Winery

Boxwood Estate Winery is located in Middleburg, Virginia, on a historic landmark farm. The winery is housed in a beautifully restored 18th century stone barn on a working horse farm. Visitors can enjoy wine tastings, tours of the winemaking facilities, and stunning views of the Blue Ridge Mountains from the tasting room.

This charming winery offers tastings and tours, and you can even enjoy a lovely picnic on the property.

10. Enjoy fine dining at the Goodstone Inn

The gorgeous (and expensive) Goodstone Inn, a hotel and gourmet restaurant, is about a ten-minute drive from the National Sporting Library. They have an outdoor pool for guests and stone walls surrounding the property.

But the best thing about the Goodstone Inn is the restaurant. It’s one of the few places in the area that offers a prix fixe menu, and the food is absolutely amazing (especially the crab cakes). If you’re looking for a special night out, this is the place to go.

11. Have lunch outside at The Red Horse Tavern

Looking for more casual fare? The Red Horse Tavern has a cute patio right on Washington Street where you can enjoy drinks and sandwiches. It’s great for people-watching and soaking up downtown Middleburg.

Frequently asked questions about Middleburg

Not really. Certainly, children are welcome everywhere, but the town revolves around mostly adult pursuits with a very “ladies who lunch” vibe. Our kids found it to be pretty boring.

Not in the downtown. But there’s a Quality Inn about 15 minutes away that’s inexpensive. And the surrounding Loudoun County is full of more affordable spots.

There are two big ones: Christmas in Middleburg and The Hunt Country Stable Tour. They’re both super popular and require a lot of advance planning.

Things to do nearby

Had enough horse racing and art gallery exploration? The surrounding area is rich with Civil War and Revolutionary history and much less fancy 😉.

• Visit Mount Vernon estate, the home of George Washington, a must-see Virginia landmark.
• Explore nearby Virginia Civil War battlefields (Bull Run is quite close!)
• You’re close to the Blue Ridge Mountains and so many Virginia campgrounds.

At Oak Spring Farm, established by the late Paul and Bunny Mellon, visitors can explore the renowned hunter and jumper barns. The Mellons, notable figures in the equestrian world, bred internationally acclaimed horses including Sea Hero, winner of the Kentucky Derby. Notable visitors to the Mellons’ stables included Jacqueline Kennedy, who enjoyed foxhunting with the famed Piedmont Fox Hounds.

Had the best experience ever at Middleton Stables, my grandson went to horse camp and loved it. The kids got to interact with tons of barn yard animals, had plenty of time riding the horses, & learned about the health & caring for farm animals.

Best of Hunt Country Weddings 2023

Hunt Country had no shortage of unique weddings in 2023. From an elopement in the woods to a family affair at Salamander Resort & Spa, here are a few of our favorites.

Samantha & Ben

Poplar Springs Manor – Warrenton, VA April 15, 2023

Samantha and Ben’s special day was set against the gorgeous stone backdrop and tree-lined roads of Poplar Spring Manor in Warrenton. Pops of eucalyptus green and pale pink flower arrangements added a touch of spring to the airy setting. The evening ended with a dazzling sparkler send-off and plenty of cheers and tears from friends and family. The couple shares, “ Our wedding day was so special surrounded by everyone we love! Poplar Springs Manor was a gorgeous venue that allowed for an intimate wedding and beautiful views from no matter where you were. We’ve only lived in Virginia for a few years, but it has become our home. All of the wedding weekend memories we will remember for the rest of our lives!”

Caitlin & Andy

Private Home – Warrenton, VA April 26, 2023

When asked about her wedding to Andy, Caitilin shares, “Everything literally fell into place.” The couple eloped outside their shared home on a Wednesday surrounded by towering trees and witnessed by their adorable dog Stanley. The day was filled with personal touches like a wedding cake which the bride baked herself, and a DIY bouquet of flowers she sourced from “the side of the road.” Of their nuptials, Caitlin says, “It was perfect. But, besides perfect, it was so easy and relaxed and so fun.” She finishes, “It was just very us. We wouldn’t have done it any differently. We loved every minute of it.”

The Manor House at Airmont – Round Hill, VA May 20, 2023

“The most memorable moment of our wedding was definitely the first look. My first look with my dad and my first look with my husband,” shares Camille. Camille and Zach didn’t let the rainy weather dim their special day; instead they leaned into it with a gorgeous tented ceremony and photos outside the Manor House. Of the venue, she shares, “We just fell in love with the place. It’s owned by the Francis family.” Camille credits the Francis family with making the day stress-free, saying, “It is a whole package and it made our wedding process very seamless.” She ends up saying what matters most is that “you are celebrating your union with your soulmate, witnessed by people you love.”

Taylor & Nate

Shadow Creek – Purcellville, VA September 23, 2023

Taylor and Nate had a tropical storm to contend with on their special day. But, as Taylor shares, things turned out better than they could have ever imagined. She shares, “What I didn’t expect was how much all of our vendors would step up and bring new visions, plans, and dreams to life. From the venue having a rain plan, to our photographer and videographer being by our sides to calm every nerve, to our florist, baker, and rental company designing our vision better than we could have imagined, to our caterer serving up some of the best food we’ve tasted, to our coordinator ready to jump in and snuff out any disastrous issues before they could spoil the day. We were incredibly blessed to be surrounded by so many great people on what truly was the best day of our lives, despite the unyielding wind and rain from Tropical Storm Ophelia.”

Family was front and center at the wedding of Judith and Chris. The ceremony took place on the anniversary of Judith’s grandparents’ (Noodle and Papa) wedding anniversary. The couple tied the knot at a nearby church before hosting guests at Salamander Resort & Spa. The couple kept it classic with black bridesmaid dresses and groomsmen suits and hints of blue in the hydrangea bouquets. A visit from Cupcake, Salamander’s mini horse, put smiles on everyone’s faces and added to the Middleburg feel!

Jessica & Justin

Birkby House – Leesburg, VA November 10, 2023

Jess says, “From beginning to end, we tried to be in touch with the guest experience. Our venue in downtown Leesburg, Birkby House, served as the perfect spot for our guests — a beautiful outdoor ceremony amidst fall foliage, indoor cocktail hour in the charming manor house, and our reception in the newly built conservatory. Our favorite moments included surprising our guests as we entered the reception in traditional Korean dress (called hanboks), late-night pizza on the dance floor, and being surrounded by our loved ones who were visibly having a great time! It was an unforgettable night.”
