Barboursville Vineyards
About
Founded in 1976 by Italian winemaker Luca Paschina on the historic Barboursville plantation (designed by Thomas Jefferson), this estate produces Virginia's most acclaimed wines. The Octagon Bordeaux blend is the state's benchmark red, and the Vermentino is a revelation. The ruins of the Jefferson-designed mansion provide an unforgettable backdrop for tastings.
Why It's a Hidden Gem
Thomas Jefferson's vision of Virginia wine fulfilled — world-class Bordeaux blends and Italian varieties on a historic plantation most oenophiles overlook.
