Spending a relaxing and satisfying day meandering along the Monticello Wine Trail is a delightful activity for your next day trip from Richmond.
Against the backdrop of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains you will find no fewer than 35 wineries and acres of vineyards to admire.
All the wineries welcome visitors to come for a tour or tasting and there are several wine-related events and festivals on the calendar, including the annual Taste of Monticello Festival which is held in Charlottesville at the end of April each year.
If you would prefer to leave the driving to someone else you can join a wine tour in Charlottesville. You can plan your route by visiting the website.
