Burnt Hill Farm

The Baker family and team have done it again. Burnt Hill Farm is a magical place, thoughtfully planned and built to honor the land and share its gifts. From the moment we drove into the farm, we felt transported to another time and place. Carefully cultivated vines surrounded us. The tasting room and two other buildings blend seamlessly with the land around them, while grasses and plants are allowed to grow wildflower meadow-style. Inside the tasting room, no detail is left unaddressed. The view is spectacular. The service made us feel very cared for and the food and wines we tasted are a testament to the patience and creative brilliance of the team. However, although the food, wines, service and atmosphere are elevated, we felt totally at home and comfortable, just as if we were part of the family. That's the magic of this place and the original winery, Old Westminster. The experience is simply the best, and I look forward to making more beautiful memories in the future.

We were greeted with a crisp, sparkling wine at Burnt Hill Farms and treated to a tour of the beautiful property. The land is responsibly cared for—Grapevines galore, that are thriving in the rugged soil with rich history. We sampled (3) red wines, so flavorful; each variety is distinct and unique - some very robust and bold! Enjoyed some nibbles of salad, a cold corn/curry soup And the BREAD!! Warm and fresh, served with two different homemade butters. YUM!! Other things worth noting are the sunsets—totally worth scheduling your visit around. And their plans for the future are exciting too, especially the overnight cabins they have planned. Burnt Hill Farm is a place worth visiting again and again and again ….

Burnt Hill Farm is truly exceptional — a perfect blend of refined experience and heartfelt purpose. From their rare and exquisite wines to their delicious, locally-inspired cuisine, every aspect of this place feels meaningful and thoughtfully executed. The farm itself is stunning, with a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to slow down and savor. The wine program is world-class, and the food is unforgettable — each dish crafted with intention and flavor that speaks for itself. What makes Burnt Hill even more special is the vision behind it. The owners treat the land with deep respect, working to leave it better than they found it. It’s rare to see that level of care and sustainability paired with such a luxurious experience. If you’re passionate about supporting local, and want a memorable outing that feels both indulgent and grounded — this is your spot. Highly recommend.

Burnt Hill Farm is such a hidden gem! Just 30 minutes outside of D.C. with views of Sugar Loaf and the Catoctin Mountains the vibe is peaceful, and the wine is amazing. The food pairings were spot on and the staff made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. Can’t wait to come back!

Such an amazing experience from beginning to end. Stunning views and thoughtful details at every turn. The food, the wine, the service, the views - top notch!

Burnt Hill Farm was absolutely magical. The thought and detail that went into every part of the experience was unmatched. It’s a stunning view with great wine, delicious food and an amazing staff. If you can get a seating at sunset, you won’t regret it. Can’t wait to go back!

When I got the email that Burnt Hill Farm would be offering $85 tastings/tour, we made a reservation immediately and we're so glad we did! The property is naturally wild and really stunning. We loved the minimalist architecture against the rolling hills and vineyards. As of now they have a tasting room, a private event space, and they're working on a separate kitchen in the far left building. We were greeted with a glass of Blanc de Blancs which was crisp and perfect for a September walking tour to learn about the property and polyculture focus. Our tour guide also let us know that future projects will include a chefs table experience and rental cabins. We were then shown to our table and greeted by our server who explained the tastings and menu. We loved the details- the menu, the table setting, ceramics made with soil from the farm, the "toolkit" cutlery, and the decor. Each team member we met was attentive, friendly, and seemed excited about the farm. Our server Kristin was so knowledgeable and set a great tone for the tasting. Our meal included a delicious bread (they will mill on property in the future) with a tomato spread and honey butter. Our garden snacks included Virginia peanuts, marinated olives, carrot soup, and an eggplant salad/hummus. Every bite felt special. The weekend we visited they were offering a special, Mangalista Terine. This is from the hogs (the Wagyu of pork) they keep on the property, what a treat it was. The black label Gamay was a standout. We were blown away by this wine. We joined the wine club and took a bottle home with us. There is a card in the back of your menu that allows for easy sign-up. Reservations are booked through the end of the year and we can see why, the hype is real. We're excited to watch what Burnt Hill Farm will achieve.

Burnt Hill is a beautiful winery. The Baker siblings have created a thoughtfully curated, unique experience. From the grown-on-the-farm wheat used in their delicious bread to even the handmade pottery and dishes crafted from the soil on the farm, the family takes it all and makes it even better. We are happy to be here from the beginning of this adventure and are excited to see what happens next!
