The Winery

Stone Tower Winery was founded by Mike and Kristi Huber who also own Belfort Furniture.[3] The Hubers then entrusted the winery to their daughter Lacey. The Winery is able to produce around 11,000 cases of wine annually which puts it toward being one of the largest wineries of the 40 in Loudoun County.[3] The initial size was expected to be around 75 acres of working vineyards and production facility but has expanded greatly to now include more than 200 acres.[4]

Soil

Loudoun County has a variety of soil types that can be conducive to growing grapes. Stone Tower sits primarily on greenstone schist.[1] The two primary soil types are Catoctin channery silt loam and Meyersville-Cactoctin complex. A study by Loudoun County found that both soil samples are present in and around the area. The study also found that both Catoctin channery silt and Meyersville-Cactoctin complex are suited for agriculture, forestry, and wildlife.[5] Of the two soils, Meersville-Cactoctin was found to have a better capability for being a prime farmland or secondary cropland.[5]
