Just 1.5 miles from Monticello, Jefferson Vineyards offers award-winning wines amidst beautiful views

Thomas Jefferson had a deep interest in wine and was known for his efforts to promote viticulture in Virginia and the United States. To that end, he convinced Italian vintner Philip Mazzei to settle in Albemarle County in late 1773 and induced him to do so by giving him a 193-acre tract of land. More than 200 years later, their vision became a reality at Jefferson Vineyards.
