History
The farmhouse, originally known as Washington Academy, was built in 1834, and is a two-story, five-bay, brick building with a pedimented hexastyle front portico. Flanking the two-story central block are one-story wings. The Washington Academy operated until about 1844, and the property sold in 1847.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] The vineyard also owns two nearby Register-listed houses, Wirtland and Roxbury.[5]
Relationship with Mark Warner
Former Virginia governor and current United States Senator Mark Warner grows 15 acres (61,000 m2) of grapes for Ingleside Vineyards at his farm in King George County. Ingleside bottles a private label which Warner offers at charity auctions.[6]
Wines
Among the wines that Ingleside Vineyards produces are varietal and blended bottlings of Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Touriga Nacional.
