Jefferson Vineyards

Jefferson Vineyards is a historic winery just 10 minutes from Charlottesville, set in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains at the heart of Virginia wine country. The site carries deep winemaking roots, as nearly 250 years ago Thomas Jefferson and Philip Mazzei began growing grapes on this very land in pursuit of Jefferson's dream of establishing American winemaking. The vineyard neighbors Monticello, Jefferson's mountaintop home, and Highland, the nearby estate of President James Monroe. Visitors can sample the winery's award-winning wines, which range from delicate and refreshing to elegant, full-bodied, and rich, in the tasting room open daily. Guests can also shop the wines, join a wine club, and soak in the scenery and history of one of Virginia's earliest wine sites.
