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 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 highquality wines, shared with family, friends and visitors. With this in mind, we invite you to Discover the Birthplace of American Wine.

Lee, John Mosby, William and Annie du Pont, Randolph Scott, Jessica Lange, Sam Shepard, Sissy Spacek and John Grisham are but a few of the historical figures and prominent celebrities who have discovered Gordonsville and been glad to return. You might be tempted to say that GoRdonSviLLE iS foR CELEBS, in much the same way that viRGiniA iS foR LovERS , but that would be selling us short.

South African inspired cuisine in downtown Charlottesville, Virginia.

Welcome to our little piece of Africa here in the heart of Downtown Charlottesville. I moved to Zimbabwe in 1989 from San Diego, CA, my mother a native of the former British Colony. As a ten year old i immediately became obsessed by the people, sights, smells & tastes of southern Africa. Canoeing safaris on the Zambezi River, white water rafting below Victoria Falls & scraping mussels off the rocks at Camps Bay Beach on family holidays changed me forever. While sitting for economics at the university, I worked in restaurants & catering companies. The Shebeen is my culinary interpretation of a magical african childhood. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.

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 offers numerous outdoor recreational activities, organizations for senior citizens, fitness facilities, excellent private and public schools, indoor and outdoor shopping areas and 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.
