There are 33 member wineries on the Monticello Wine Trail in Albemarle, Nelson, Green, and parts of Fluvanna county. The center of the region is the city of Charlottesville, home to the University of Virginia and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello
Many critics and industry members agree that the Shenandoah Valley is the future for Virginia wine, due to its climate advantages, but visitors will enjoy the scenic views, slower pace of life, and a consistently fresh wine style. Winery visiting options range from Harrisonburg south to Raphine and east to Fishersville.
Tours of other Virginia wine regions may be possible depending on dates, but due to longer travel time from Charlottesville, will have additional expense. Please specify preference when contacting.
