Pizza, Wine & Wide-Open Lawns
Five family-friendly Purcellville wineries where wood-fired pizzas, kids, and dogs are all part of the afternoon.
For many families, a perfect weekend outing includes something warm and cheesy for the kids — and a good glass of wine for the grown-ups. Luckily, Purcellville's family-friendly wineries make it easy to do both, serving up wood-fired pizzas, wide-open lawns, and a relaxed vibe that welcomes everyone (dogs included).
Tucked in the heart of Loudoun County, Purcellville is an easy countryside escape — about 60 minutes from Washington, D.C., 35 minutes from Dulles International Airport, and just 20 minutes from Leesburg or Ashburn. Close enough for a day trip, yet far enough to feel worlds away.
If you're near Purcellville, here are five wineries to add to your weekend list.
Bozzo Family Vineyards
Wood-fired pizzas by the stone patio oven
Set among the rolling hills of western Loudoun, Bozzo Family Vineyards is a local favorite for its wood-fired pizzas and easygoing, family-friendly vibe. Guests gather near the stone patio and wood-fired oven, a cozy focal point for pizza and conversation. A spacious lawn and relaxed atmosphere make it easy for families — and dogs — to enjoy time together.
The Brick Oven Pizza menu covers both red and white pies — there's even a kid-sized option and a cauliflower crust (vegan, non-GMO, and gluten-free). Local cheeses from Locksley and Harvue farms complement wine served by the bottle, glass, or flight. Tastings are offered tableside upon request; for $11, guests can sample four pours of any available wines.
Good to know: Guests can bring their own food, and dogs are welcome outdoors — a relaxed, unpretentious spot that makes it easy to linger all afternoon.
Breaux Vineyards
400+ acres, live music, and a full kitchen menu
Right next door sits Breaux Vineyards, one of Loudoun's most scenic estates, with more than 400 acres of vineyards stretching toward Short Hill Mountain. Families can relax at picnic tables on the wide lawn or settle under the covered patio, while dogs are welcome both outdoors and in the cozy indoor lounge with sofas and a fireplace.
The kitchen menu goes well beyond the usual winery fare, offering flatbreads, paninis, sandwiches, shareables, and even soups and chef specials like tacos. The Flatbreads menu ranges from Cheese and Pepperoni to Fig & Feta (with prosciutto, feta, and hot honey) and Jambalaya (with andouille sausage, Cajun seasoning, and remoulade drizzle). There's also a Kids' Favorites section — from Chicken Tender Sliders and Kids' Cheese Flatbread to a locally made Soft Pretzel from Nordic Knot.
On weekends, live music from 2 to 5 p.m. adds to the easygoing charm, and the combination of great food, open spaces, and laid-back atmosphere makes it easy to spend the whole afternoon here.
Otium Cellars
European varietals, brick-oven pizzas, and firepit terrace
Just outside downtown Purcellville, Otium Cellars blends European winemaking tradition with relaxed country charm. The terrace offers Adirondack chairs, picnic tables, and fire pits (available weather permitting) — a welcoming space to unwind while kids enjoy the open lawn. Well-behaved pets are welcome outdoors but not inside the tasting room.
The menu centers on brick-oven pizzas like the Figgie, Hippie, Cheese, and Pepperoni, alongside Bavarian-style snacks such as pretzel twists, cheese and crackers (with gluten-free options), and a wide selection of chips and non-alcoholic drinks including sparkling waters, teas, and organic juice boxes. Seasonal menus rotate throughout the year, keeping things fresh for returning visitors.
Inside, the Barrel Room tastings showcase Otium's European varietals — from Dornfelder to Lemberger — offering a cozy backdrop for parents to sip while staying close to the action outside.

Round out your pizza-and-wine day with a few local stops that everyone can enjoy year-round.
- 🍦 Tipped Cow Creamery — A local favorite for handcrafted ice cream made on-site with rich Virginia dairy. Flavors rotate — think honey lavender, coffee, or classic chocolate — and it's equally loved by kids and adults.
- 🛍️ 21st Street Shops & Magnolia's at the Mill — Take a short stroll downtown for boutique browsing and a stop at Magnolia's at the Mill, a beautifully restored grain mill turned restaurant. Inside, you'll find exposed beams, hearty local fare, and a relaxed atmosphere that fits perfectly after a day at the wineries.
- 🎨 Franklin Park Arts Center — Just a few minutes from downtown, Franklin Park Arts Center offers concerts, performances, and rotating exhibits throughout the year. In November, visitors can enjoy a free art exhibit celebrating Loudoun's rural landscape and agricultural heritage. The show features original artwork inspired by local farms and countryside scenes — some real, some imagined — with most pieces available for purchase. The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., and during public performances. Check the Arts Center's calendar for additional upcoming shows and community events.
Each stop adds another reason to linger a little longer in Loudoun County — even as the days get shorter and the air turns crisp.
