Taste of Monticello Wine Trail Festival
Monticello Wine Week transforms Charlottesville into a celebration of Virginia's most prestigious wine region for six days, with tasting events, winery open houses, and the signature Grand Tasting at Ting Pavilion. Surrounded by 40+ acclaimed wineries in Thomas Jefferson's historic home county, the festival blends history, culture, and world-class Viognier, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The rolling Albemarle countryside in late June is one of America's most beautiful wine backdrops.
