Travel + Leisure magazine does an in-depth review of the things to do in our "underrated" Loudoun County.  Sure, there's lots to do, and something for nearly everyone!

Often referred to simply as “Loudoun,” Loudoun County is made up of a handful of towns and communities: Leesburg (the county seat), Middleburg, Purcellville, Waterford, Sterling, Round Hill, Lucketts, Hillsboro, Lovettsville, Hamilton, Ashburn, and Bluemont. “As a business owner in Loudoun, I really appreciate the diversity. Each city or town has its own vibe and culture. I also like how each city has its own local flair and events that the community can support,” says Silas Redd, owner of Nostalgia Boutique and Mister on Main in Purcellville.

The writer dips into Purcellville for a quick mention of our distillery:

Places to grab a locally made drink abound in Loudoun County. Redd prefers Walsh Family Wine—and recommends a glass of their viognier—and Catoctin Creek Distillery, “for one of their highly curated ‘Dinner at the Distillery’ events.”
