Loudoun is glorious in the fall. The air is crisp and cool, early morning mist hangs in the valley and the lush green of farm fields is offset by forests of burnt yellow, gold, and salmon red. It looks like an Impressionist oil painting. Few of us can paint like Monet though, so the next best thing is to take a photograph, post it on Instagram and caption it with a pun like “Unbeleafable!”
Where to go for those perfect pictures though?
Here we choose the most Instagrammable locations in Loudoun for the fall.
Get posting!
Farms
From pumpkin patches and corn mazes to gentle animals and rustic barns, get your cameras ready to capture farm life.
Temple Hall Farm Pumpkin Patch
Wineries
It’s more than just the leaves that are changing. It’s harvest season, grapes are getting picked and new vintages are coming online. With more than 50 wineries and tasting rooms in DC’s Wine Country there’s no shortage of flowing wine. Here are just a few that offer panoramic views of the beautiful fall foliage.
Breweries
Loudoun may be DC’s Wine Country, but it’s beer country too, with a slate of scenic farm breweries and mountain top beerhalls that are perfect for striking a pose. Try these for settings in farm fields or Piedmont and Potomac River views.

Historic Locations
There’s something about fall that makes us want to take everything a little slower this time of year. Maybe it’s the whole “fall back” thing, but we find ourselves drawn to the past, which makes exploring Loudoun’s historic destinations that much more special. It’s time for a photo op at these storied settings.
