In 1972, owners of Meredyth Vineyards in Middleburg planted 2,300 vines. That vineyard went on to expand to 60 acres (24 ha). The number of vineyards grew over the years until Rachel Martin, Executive Vice President of Boxwood Winery solely petitioned the Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau to establish the AVA.[6]
