The Monticello Wine Trail
Thomas Jefferson envisioned vineyards and wines from his native state standing shoulder to shoulder with the great wines of the Old World. Some 200 years later, the counties surrounding Monticello were designated the Monticello American Viticultural Area (AVA), in recognition of the region’s distinguished and burgeoning wine industry. The Monticello AVA was the first established AVA in Virginia. Discover the birthplace of American Wine at monticellowinetrail.com.
