OverviewZephaniah Farm Vineyard is located just outside Leesburg, on a 376-acre four-generation working farm. Bill Hatch and his four siblings grew up tending the former dairy farm, which today grows grapes and raises grass-fed Angus. In addition to being a farmer, winemaker, and a senior video operator for ABC News in Washington, DC, Bill is also a family historian and gladly shares the family, farm, and winery history with interested visitors. Bill and Bonnie planted their first grapes in 2002 and use a traditional practice of canopy management to maximize leaf and fruit exposure to the sun and incorporates sustainable farming techniques. Today they have fifteen acres under vine. The winery is named after Bill’s great-grandfather, Zephaniah Jefferson Hatch, who built and owned the Monticello Steamboat Company in the late 1800s. Zephaniah’s ferry crossed the San Francisco Bay three times a day, from San Francisco to Vallejo, the drop-off point for Napa Valley wine and travelers. The ferry’s bell hangs outside the home, and was used in years past to call the Hatch family to dinner. Century-old trees line the picturesque drive leading to the 1819 manor house that was constructed by the same builder of nearby Oak Hill, the home of former president James Monroe. But the Hatch home is far more humble. A strong sense of family is evident when you walk through the door - family photographs, heirlooms, and antique furniture fill the living room, where wine tastings are served. Bill and Bonnie are fortunate that their adult children are now fully involved in the vineyard and winery. Emily is the assistant winemaker. Tremain, who has a Masters in the field, helps tremendously in the vineyard, and Meredith helps in the business side of the winery. We work as a family to grow good grapes and make wonderful wine.
