Monticello Wine Trail Map

Charlottesville GUIDE

Monticello wine trail

L

ate in his life, Thomas Jefferson envisioned vineyards and wines from his native state standing shoulder to shoulder with the great wines of the Old World. He planted his vineyards close to his home, atop Monticello mountain located adjacent to the small hamlet of Charlottesville, that year, but his efforts were in vain, and his vision remained unfulfilled.

Some 200 years later, the counties surrounding Monticello were designated the Monticello Viticultural Area (AVA), in recognition of the region’s distinguished and burgeoning wine industry. Over half of Virginia’s 2000 vineyard acres grow within the Monticello AVA, and well over 20 wineries produce fine wines of national and international acclaim.

Today, the Commonwealth of Virginia is the 5th largest producer of wine in the United States, with

Winery Listings Pg. 7

the Monticello Wine Trail as its crown-jewel, truly fulfilling Jefferson’s vision of winemaking in Virginia.

In no place are Jefferson’s vision and legacy more pronounced than at Monticello, his stunning mountain-top home and America’s only site listed on the World Register of Historic Places. A visit to Monticello remains a touchstone of American culture, a rite of passage for all who seek to understand from whence this country came, and an immersion into the greatest of American minds.

The Monticello Wine Trail remains the wine world’s best kept secret, where boutique wineries produce small quantities of high-quality wines, shared with family, friends and visitors. With this in mind, we invite you to Discover the Birthplace of American Wine.

Charlottesville’s historic areas begin with Thomas Jefferson’s University of Virginia and the Rotunda.

University Avenue, “The Corner,” with its specialty shops, dining spots, and entertainment venues, is a fun way to begin a short walk through history.

Continue your journey from University Avenue to West Main Street, then on to the historic Downtown Mall, noticing a variety of shops, hotels, and restaurants along the way. Main Street becomes a pedestrian mall at the Omni Hotel. Many businesses offer validation for the parking garages on Market and Water Streets. A free trolley is available to connect all three areas, and makes frequent stops along the way.

Charlottesville GUIDE

N

amed in honor of Princess Charlotte, the wife of George III, Charlottesville was settled in the 18th century on a hill overlooking the Rivanna River.

Today, the City of Charlottesville and the surrounding Albemarle County has a metropolitan population nearing 200,000 encompassing over 730 square miles of scenic and beautiful landscape.

Charlottesville and Albemarle County offer a unique combination of natural beauty, a climate with four distinct seasons, rich historical and cultural attractions, and close proximity to both a national park and the nation’s capitol. The area consistently earns high marks as a desirable place to live; in recent years, it has appeared on top-ten lists of cities published by Money, Forbes, Kiplinger’s, and Men’s Health magazines as well as AARP and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

Featuring the amenities of larger cities, Charlottesville is a vibrant university town that offer numerous outdoor recreational activities, organizations for senior citizens, fitness facilities, excellent private and public schools, indoor and outdoor shopping areas, indoor and outdoor entertainment venues, and residential communities that have developed through the years. These are just a few of the reasons why people choose to make Charlottesville and Albemarle County their home.
