Tasting & Tours
The entire estate is open for tasting our wines in a stroll or in a picnic, and our informed and enthusiastic hosts present tastings continuously in the Discovery Tasting Room, every day of the week, and in Library 1821, Wednesday through Monday. The Tasting Room is where the broadest range of our current vintages is introduced, while the Library 1821 presents a changing selection of flights of current and older vintages from our cellars, and with bite-sized culinary pairings designed by our chefs. Every encouragement is given, also, to enjoying our wines in the truly splendid lawns surrounding the historic Landmark Ruins of Thomas Jefferson's mansion for Governor James Barbour, a pleasant stroll away.
There is a tasting fee of $15 which includes a choice of six one ounce pour among sixteen wines self-dispensed by automated Winestations at ideal temperature in fine crystal stemware.
Staff in the Discovery Room is available to answer questions and a provided menu with QR codes is a great opportunity to view short videos of our winemaker sharing insight on all the wines.
Guided tours of the winery are currently suspended in response to Covid 19 guidelines. We hope to offer tours on Saturday and Sunday in the near future. The Octagon Barrel Room, it's exhibition of the biography of our signature wine, and the brief film about the estate is also suspended.
Guests may guide themselves on a tour of the Landmark Ruins, one of Jefferson's true architectural masterpieces. In its elegant Palladian proportions and siting on a gentle knoll, the house unmistakably recalls Jefferson's own, and deeply refreshes our appreciation of structural balance in wine. We warmly recommend a visit.
Library 1821
Since the earliest 1990s, we have taken care to reserve leading wines from exemplary vintages in our ideal storage conditions. Periodically, they are presented at important festive weekends and at our annual Vertical Tasting Weekend. In addition, a section of our original winery building, overlooking an expansive slope of Cabernet Franc and the Blue Ridge beyond, has been remodeled as Library 1821, for comfort and contemplative tastings throughout the year. In the Library, selected wines are offered in flights ranging from the mid-$20s to the mid-$40s. To accompany your wine, Cheese, Charcuterie and a changing "Trattoria-style" menu is offered 11am-4pm
The Library's Tasting List changes periodically, always to afford a diversified exposure to our varietal range in white wines and in reds, but always including Octagon, Paxxito and older distinguished vintages of more limited supply. These offerings are customarily also available for purchase by the bottle. Library hours are Saturday-Thurs, 11:00 to 5:00pm, (last seating 3:30pm) Friday 12pm-7:00pm, (last seating 5:30pm)
Christmas Eve 10:00am-3:00pm (last seating 1:30pm) Christmas Day Closed, New Year's Day Closed
Parties fewer than 6 are seated as space is available. Reservations are accepted for 6+, (15max )
Gatherings of 12+ will have an added $50 table setup charge.
Personal picnics are not permitted in the Library 1821 or terrace but may be enjoyed on the decks by the "Wine Barn" overlooking the wildflower meadow
Tables are provided on the terrace and service at times is limited due to weather and temperatures. To enjoy the Library 1821 experience as it was designed, full table service of flights, food, glasses and bottles, is conducted indoors.
Groups of (10) or more, a set flight of the SAME (6) WINES (you can build the flight or trust our wine educators to design your flight) or the SPECIAL OCTAGON VERTICAL, is poured for everyone
