The Monticello American Viticultural Area (AVA) stands as a testament to Thomas Jefferson's pioneering viticultural vision.

The global recognition is a result of 50 years of talent from around the world moving into the 800 square miles around Charlottesville and bringing Jefferson's dream of American winemaking to life with its thriving vineyards and award-winning wines.
