Down to Earth Destination, World Class Wines

Welcome to the birthplace of American wine. Charlottesville and Albemarle County are home to more than 40 wineries along the Monticello Wine Trail, offering visitors lush views and a dynamic wine scene in the heart of Virginia.


The story of our wine dates back to the days of Thomas Jefferson who dreamed of grape growing and winemaking at Monticello, his mountaintop estate.

It wasn't until the 1970’s, however, that a new generation of winemakers discovered the best vines to grow in our region's terroir and began to fulfill Jefferson's vision of a destination dotted with wineries.

Since then, our local winemakers have transformed the region into a premiere wine destination. We are excited to welcome you to a place with historic vines and new roots.
