Beginning this weekend Loudoun's own Notaviva Vineyards will be featured on HGTV's "Dream House." For eight weeks the show will chronicle Notaviva's owners, Shannon and Stephen Mackey, in their quest to build their home and vineyard.

In its 18th season, "Dream House" follows home-builders throughout the country as they build their dream homes. Producers for the show chose the Mackeys because of their story -- their desire to build not just a dream home, but a dream lifestyle -- and for the unique architecture of their planned home.

The series begins Saturday at 7 a.m. on HGTV.
