Tailor your visit to your interests with a specialized tour of Monticello, from a behind-the-scenes tour of Jefferson’s home to a tour focused on slavery at Monticello.

Pippin Hill Vineyard

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards is unique among the growing number of fine wineries along Virginia’s Monticello Wine Trail. We not only create distinguished boutique wines, our Tasting Room pairs them with exquisite fare from the garden: local, fresh, seasonal, from vineyard-and farm-to-table, and always with Pippin Hill’s welcoming sense of relaxed elegance. It’s a collaborative effort between the certified Horticulturist and the executive chef. For inspiration, the culinary team looks to the garden right outside the kitchen door. The vineyard’s location allows them to grow the region’s best grapes, just as the open-air dining venue is designed to look over the gentle hills of the vineyards.

Merrie Mill Farm

Merrie Mill Farm & Vineyard is the new tasting room destination in Keswick, VA. Founded by Guy and Elizabeth Pelly, Merrie Mill reimagines the tasting room experience by marrying a devotion to warm, approachable hospitality with a weird, wonderful setting that delights and inspires. The Tasting Room at Merrie Mill features two copper bars in a lofted interior, multiple terraces and lawns overlooking the vineyards. Reservations can be made for wine tastings and light bites. In addition to a welcoming, playful spirit as well as delicious wine, Merrie Mill will come to be known for its uniquely maximalist style and unexpected artwork.
