Arguably Virginia’s most famous winery, Barboursville was founded outside Charlottesville way back in 1976, though the—and the estate dates to the 18th century. Barboursville is owned by the Zonin family, from Italy’s Veneto, which brought Old World know-how, stubbornness and talented winemaker Luca Paschina to the project.
The result is a path-breaking winery that has received high recognition for numerous wines, starting with the flagship Octagon red Bordeaux blend, but extending into whites as well, including Viognier and Chardonnay. The winery is also a well-established attraction for wine tourists, who can stroll the extensive grounds, which include the ruins of the mansion Thomas Jefferson built for the original owner.
