OTIUM

Artisanal estate wines from Loudoun County, Virginia.

Latin. Ōtium — leisure; purposeful stillness; the time set aside for contemplation. The art of being still.

The Winemaking

The art of
being still.

The winemaking program at Tranquility Farm is led by our vintner, Anita Tanamala.

The current range is drawn from the Purcellville estate block — eight acres planted from 2007. Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt, Pinot Gris, and the Hail Medley field blend. Estate fruit, made in the cellar on the grounds, poured in the tasting room above the vineyard they came from.

The program is built on a specific foundation: clone selection. Every varietal planted across our Loudoun County vineyards carries multiple clones — chosen for what they give at different harvest moments, what they express in the cellar, and how they sit in the final wine. Clone selection is not a detail. It is the decision that determines the character of every bottle this estate makes.

The Bluemont block — thirty-three acres on Anita's own land in Loudoun County — carries the varietals the program is building toward. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Grüner Veltliner. First harvest expected in 2026.

Sébastien Marquet leads the winemaking. He brings in specialists for specific aspects depending on the wine — the method, the varietal, the vintage. The expertise is matched to the work.

"A finish that outlasts the conversation that started it."

The Vineyards

Two sites.
One program.

Otium currently draws from the estate vineyard at Tranquility Farm — eight acres first planted in 2007 and revitalized in 2022. Blaufränkisch, Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Dornfelder, Domina, and Zweigelt. These are the vines visible from the tasting room.

The Bluemont block brings a different scale to the program. Over thirty-three acres planted, with varietals and clones selected around specific winemaking goals. The vines have been in the ground since 2022 and developing since. First harvest from our Loudoun County vineyards is expected in 2026 — at which point the Otium Signature Red Blend moves to fully estate-grown fruit. Sustainable farming practices are a priority across both sites as the vineyards mature.

Sustainable practices — priority across both sites as the program develops

The vineyards are what the current chapter is built on. The weddings, the retreats, the stays — they sustain the farming. The farming is the point.

The Collection

Artisanal wines from
a single farm.

The Otium range draws from estate-owned vineyards in Virginia and is released when the winemaking team is ready — not when the calendar demands it. Availability varies by vintage and allocation.

White Wines
White · Reserve
Chardonnay Reserve
2021 Vintage

Ripe and toasty — stone fruit, peach, and apricot. Aged in stainless steel to preserve natural complexity rather than add oak character. Rich texture, clean finish.

White · Estate
Grüner Veltliner
2022 Vintage · Estate Grown

Crisp and lively — apple, peach, citrus, and a signature hint of white pepper. Light-bodied with floral and herbal notes. The grape the estate is best known for in Loudoun County.

Grüner VeltlinerEstate2022
White · Estate
Pinot Gris
2022 Vintage

Pear, apple, and melon on the nose, leading to a creamy mineral finish. Medium-bodied. Germanic winemaking on Loudoun County soil, expressed with restraint.

Tropical fruit and citrus zest on the nose. Crisp acidity balanced with a luscious, lingering finish. Limited production.

Signature Red Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon · Cabernet Franc · Petit Verdot · Merlot · Est. 2025

When we planted Cabernet Sauvignon on this property in 2022, we were building toward something specific: a red blend made entirely from estate fruit, rooted in these soils, every vintage. The vines needed time. We waited.

The 2025 harvest will be the first. Cabernet Sauvignon leads the blend — we are particularly encouraged by the performance of clone 191/33 on our specific soils, and what it promises for the character of this wine over time. Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Merlot complete it.

Aging in Sequin Moreau oak, fire bent, medium toast. The Tranquility Signature Red Blend will be made every vintage from this point forward. This is the wine the estate has been working toward.

The winemaker's wider world

The Sébastien Marquet wines carried here are his own expressions — made from different clones of Pinot Noir than our Loudoun County edition, from the same Pacific Northwest region our team works with. We carry them because the collaboration between this estate and the Wine Consulting Firm runs across everything we make — and because understanding how the same varietal expresses differently across clone and site is exactly the study this program is built on. Our guests are invited into that work.

Pacific Northwest · Not estate grown
Otium Pinot Noir
2023 · Pacific Northwest

Ruby-red with ripe red fruit and cherry aromas. Full palate, long finish. Fruit sourced from the Pacific Northwest and produced by our winemaking team. Available at the winery while stock lasts.

Pacific Northwest · Not estate grown
Otium Rosé
2022 · Pacific Northwest

Floral aromas with red fruit and a touch of pear. Smooth texture, an invigorating mid-palate, and a long lingering finish with a touch of acidity. Pairs well with duck, lamb, rockfish, hummus, and grilled vegetables. Fruit sourced from the Pacific Northwest.

Sébastien Marquet
Pinot Noir
2022 · Willamette Valley, Oregon

Ruby-red with ripe red fruit and cherry on the nose, leading to a layered, precise palate. Made by Sébastien Marquet in Oregon's Willamette Valley — his home region, and where his craft is most fully expressed. His wine, offered here on its own terms.

The Winery

Where the wine
lives.

The estate winery sits within the Tranquility Farm grounds — both the Draksha sparkling wines and Otium artisanal wines are poured here, side by side, on the same estate that produces them. Open by reservation to wine club members, with general reservations opening as renovation completes.

Designed around a single idea — that the best way to understand a wine is to see where it comes from, how it is made, and where it has been, all at once.

The Tasting Room
The vineyard falls away below the glass — the same vines the fruit comes from. A seven-foot circular barrel door opens into the production facility. A wood-burning brick fireplace anchors the room, with picture windows on either side looking into the barrel aging room. The thirty-five foot oak bar runs the length of the space — wines poured here and brought to you.
The Wine Store & The Loft
The ground floor of the timber frame building — exposed posts and beams, a raised brick hearth with a wood-burning cast iron stove. Estate wines and sparkling by the bottle. Structured wine flights and light bites available. Take a glass to the patio or stay at one of the three tables inside. The Loft above looks out over the estate's silo terrace — a small private space for wine club members and intimate group tastings.
The Belvedere
A whitewashed timber vaulted space with travertine floors and floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. The vineyard, the estate, the open countryside — visible in every direction. At the centre of the vaulted ceiling hangs a JC Bordelet Zelle wood-burning fireplace — custom enameled in the deep colour of Blaufränkisch, marking the planting of the vineyard visible through the glass, the first vines put in the ground in 2007 and the foundation everything since has been built on. Come to sit. Come to look out. Come to do nothing in particular with a good glass of wine.
The Terrace & Pasture
Adirondack chairs, fire pits, and open pasture with estate views. Pets welcome outdoors. No reservation required for groups under 10.

The Wine Club

The Estate Club.
Three memberships. One relationship.

Tranquility Farm's production is limited by design. The wines are an expression of Loudoun County — never in more quantity than the land and the craft will honestly allow.

The Estate Club ensures that those most invested in these wines are the first to receive them and the last to run out. Three memberships, each a different depth of relationship with the wine.
