Thomas Jefferson considered a good bottle of wine, whether French, Italian or Spanish, “…an indispensable for my health,” and envisioned a future where American wines would equal their European counterparts.

Eat, drink, shop and explore a piece of American history when the Thomas Jefferson Wine Festival returns to Poplar Forest. The festival, which celebrates Jefferson’s legacy as the father of Virginia Wine, features tastings from over a dozen of Virginia’s finest wineries. Funds raised by the festival support the ongoing restoration and preservation of the Founding Father’s secluded Bedford County retreat.
