The Monticello Wine Trail is a network of more than 30 wineries that are part of Virginia's American Viticultural Area. Several of these wineries, which sit within a 30-mile radius of Charlottesville,

One of the most popular wineries where many a wedding has taken place (including possibly Jennifer Aniston's - or was that just gossip I heard; regardless, it would not surprise me). The wine is delicious and the views are unparalleled. Can get crowded, so consider making a reservation first.
