The Monticello Wine Trail is featured in @southernlivingmag as one of the 10 Most Underrated U.S. Destinations! This article celebrates our rolling hills, vibrant wine community, and standout tasting experiences in central Virginia.
With Charlottesville named Wine Region of the Year by Wine Enthusiast in 2023, this recognition shines an even brighter light on the people, vineyards, and wines that define our region.

❄️DECEMBER 21 WINTER SOLSTICE❄️
The Winter Solstice arrives in quiet stillness, marking the longest night of the year. It is a reminder that even in deep darkness, the light is not gone, it is turning back. This is a time to rest, reflect, and honor the slow, gentle return of the sun ❄️☀️❄️☀️❄️☀️
