Experience the Monticello Wine Trail Today!

by

Almost 250 years ago, Thomas Jefferson built his Monticello in our gorgeous town of Charlottesville, Va. Starting as a tobacco plantation, Jefferson’s property soon became a wheat plantation; however, Jefferson always wanted a little more. He had envisioned being surrounded by vineyards and wines, so he took it into his own hands and planted a vineyard. Unfortunately Jefferson was never able to experience his full vision during his life, but now, a few centuries later, his vision has come to life.

Not only do we now have thousands of acres of vineyards and countless wineries, but the Commonwealth of Virginia has the “Monticello Wine Trail!” Read More
