Thanks! In case anyone is as brilliant as me, make sure you're using a capital "V". I couldn't figure it out because I was using a lowercase one. [bonk!]

I need to find varnishd first, so I used locate. It was located at /usr/sbin/varnishd .

You might also need to run it as root or with sudo

varnishd -V

This will return you something like:

varnishd (varnish-4.1.5 revision 2c82b1c)

Option -V is already the accepted answer.
