Much of the area surrounding Stephenson is beautiful wine country. Bluemont Vineyard and Three Creeks Winery are favorites of ours within 30 minutes of the venue, and if you happen to be farther south Gadino Cellars was our first date, and has lovely Italian style wines. Farther east is our hometown Leesburg, with lots to do from a beer at Loudoun Brewing Company, ice cream from Gruto's, brunch at Budford's Biscuits, or browsing the unique shops along King street. The venue is about an hour from Dulles International Airport (IAD) and 1.5 hours from the heart of DC. We suggest renting a car and checking out the area if you're able to.
