Jefferson Vineyards - Vineyard in Charlottesville - 1353 Thomas Jefferson Pkwy, USA

Lovely location with very friendly employees. They were so nice and we learned about the different kinds of wine there. Really enjoyed the flights so we could try out the different blends. Didn’t seem to have a menu with variety so we skipped that. Would love to stop by again to try different wines. Now for my standard comments. Location was clean and felt comfortable with the indoor seating options. It also looked like they had outdoor seating options but it was too hot when we went.

One of my favorite vineyards around Cville. Great wine options for both red and white drinkers, pretty views, and reasonable prices for the quality. **AND DOG FRIENDLY!** Also only about a 10minute drive from downtown, it's a win-win! If you like sweet wines, or have someone with you who "doesn't like wine" - have them try the vin blanc (also called Sam the Cat - pictured) wine - it's SWEET, but delicious. The meritage is excellent all around, and tends to stay good no matter the vintage. I am not typically a white wine drinker, but their Viognier and Petit Manseng are consistently delicious (and current vintages are award winners) - dry, but refreshing and flavorful. We’ve never had a red miss there, with their Petit Verdot and Meritage generally coming in on top of our favorites list. Recommendation: go when they open for a great spot on the patio, split both the red and white flights with someone, and taste a wonderful spectrum of Virginia wines right in the heart of it all, next to Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello! (This vineyard is great for history buffs too)!

Good wine, friendly staff, great views and delightful ambiance. The merlot and meritage were my favorite wines that we tried (I am partial to reds!). Drinking wine by the fire on a cold winter day was wonderful.

It's a not to be missed vineyard - beautiful settings, fabulous wines, friendly staff - stop at Simeon Market and grab a sandwich on your way up. This is a must every time we go.

Historical significance + great wines (red and whites) + beautiful views = a must visit venue when in Charlottesville. One of our favorite wineries! There is something for everyone here! There are several tasting area options to enjoy your flight: an indoor area as well as outdoor spaces including picnic tables, patio tables with umbrellas and an open air space complete with adirondack chairs to enjoy the mountain views. Staff is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. We prefer red wine but chose a red and white tasting and were pleasantly surprised at how much we loved the whites. We especially loved the Vin Blanc 2019. The sentimental Sam, the cat tribute, sealed the deal for us. So much so that we purchased 6+ bottles to share with family and friends. We love that you are gifted a souvenir wine glass with each flight. A true historical gem!

Beautiful winery with a tasty selection. I did the red wine flight and enjoyed the Merlot and Cab Franc. Plenty of seating inside and out. I especially like the spots on the raised deck just outside the main building, but those seats get taken fast! Staff is friendly and eager to educate guests on the wines.

Winery itself was beautiful and had quite a bit of seating. The wine selection was pretty good, did the May flight. The staff at the bar was friendly. Make sure you finish your drink EXACTLY WHEN THEY CLOSE or some rude women will come out herding everyone like cattle to get out asap. She was an older women with grey hair and just rude as hell. Most of the other wineries are way more relaxed. Go the Gabrielle Rausse winery down the road for a more chill atmosphere or even the cute little corner spot right before the entrance. Regardless with all of the wineries in the area we will not come back or recommend this one.

By far our favorite winery of our recent (9/23) trip to the Charlottesville area! We stumbled upon this one and absolutely ~ LOVED~ the staff!! Everyone was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and chatty (in the best way)! This entire place has the most relaxed vibe,fantastic wine (we bought about 12 bottles) and the goat cheese from the local farm was amazing!! Definitely will be back!! Didn’t take any pictures because we were too busy relaxing 😌
