ABOUT BARBOURSVILLE: Founded in 1976 by Italian winemaker Gianni Zonin, Barboursville Vineyards helped usher Virginia into its modern era of winemaking, successfully establishing European Vitis vinifera varieties in the Commonwealth. The estate sits just outside of Charlottesville on the historic Barbour property, home to the ruins of the mansion designed by Thomas Jefferson for VA Governor James Barbour. Today, Barboursville is one of Virginia’s most distinguished wine estates, with a distinctly European influence and a deep connection to Monticello AVA. Its wines include both classic Bordeaux varieties and Italian grapes such as Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, and Barbera. The estate’s signature Octagon, a Bordeaux-style blend, is among its most celebrated wines and was the first Virginia wine to make Decanter’s U.S. Top 50 List. 2026 marks Barboursville’s 50th anniversary, five decades of Virginia winemaking
