We know NOTHING about wine. I think between us the most sophisticated bottle of wine we’ve tasted before this video was a bottle of Barefoot. That said, we’re going to spend the weekend exploring 3 of the best wineries around Charlottesville, tour some vineyards, go on some wine tastings and try and NOT look like complete novices. Hint. We definitely looked like novices.

Pippin Hill farm and vineyard is unique in its own right amongst nearby vineyards because here you can pair great tasting wines with amazing farmtotable cuisine.

Eastwood Farm and Winery is a womenowned and familyoperated, and just five minutes from the campus of University of Virginia. Eastwood has two tasting rooms and a wonderful outdoor area on 77+ acres.

King Family Vineyards in Crozet, Virginia just fifteen minutes from Charlottesville. When you visit king family vineyard, it’s pretty much a twoday event. First, we’re here for a behindthescenes glimpse into how the wine here is made from start to finish. Next we’ll come back for the polo matches on Sunday.

Virginia Wine County may not have the recognition of other areas known for wine like Napa and Sonoma, but it still holds its place firm in the history of wine in the US. If you had to guess where wine originated from in the US, you’d probably guess California right? Well, although California is the largest wine producer in the US, producing over 84% of all U.S. wine production and 4,391 wineries, it's Virginia that is actually known as the birthplace of wine in America!

After colonists settled Jamestown, each male colonist was required to plant and tend 10 grapevines. 150 years later, Thomas Jefferson set aside 2,000 acres near his Monticello estate to plant a vineyard. Jefferson proved to be the country’s first real champion of wine, despite unsuccessfully producing any himself.
