Monticello Wine Week
A focused week-long immersion in the wines of the Monticello AVA, with 40+ winery open houses, barrel tastings, educational seminars, and special events across Charlottesville and Albemarle County. Less ticketed festival and more wine trail exploration framework, Monticello Wine Week offers direct access to winemakers pouring library wines and limited releases not available year-round. The ideal time to discover Thomas Jefferson's wine-growing legacy in depth.
