Inspired by the author of the Declaration of Independence and third president of the United States Thomas Jefferson, who once said, "Good wine is a necessity of life for me," Jay Corley founded Monticello Vineyards. Jay, who shares Mr. Jefferson’s love for wine and viticulture, as well as his ancestral roots in Virginia, chose the name Monticello to honor him.

Visitors to Monticello Vineyards are invited to taste the outstanding wines in a cozy tasting room. However, the most noteworthy edifice on the property might be the one designated for private tastings and dinners.
