Blenheim Vineyards

Blenheim Vineyards is a 160-acre winery located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, established in 1999 by musician Dave Matthews. With its modern tasting room and panoramic views of rolling hills and vineyards, the estate is known for its commitment to sustainable practices and high-quality wines, primarily focusing on varietals like Viognier and Cabernet Franc. Visiting the winery allows for tastings of their wines, often accompanied by local cheeses. It's best to go in the warmer months when the outdoor seating is available, offering a serene backdrop for sipping wine. Nearby, the charming town of Charlottesville boasts a rich blend of history and culture, including the University of Virginia and its historic architecture.
