Title: Establishment of the Middleburg Virginia Viticultural Area 
Abstract: The Middleburg Virginia viticultural area encompasses 190-square miles, 229 acres of commercial viticulture in 10 vineyards, and 12 wineries in Loudoun and Fauquier Counties of northern Virginia. The boundary line of the viticultural area neither overlaps nor shares a boundary line with any other viticultural area or existing viticultural area. Distinguishing features of the viticultural area include geography, geology, soils, and climate. The natural geographic features surrounding the Middleburg Virginia viticultural area include the Potomac River to the north, and mountains to the east, south, and west sides. The Middleburg area derives its name from the Town of Middleburg in northern Virginia.
