Library 1821 experience

Library 1821 presents a changing selection of flights of current and older vintages from our cellars, and with seasonal culinary pairings designed by our chefs.

Since the earliest 1990s, we have taken care to reserve leading wines from exemplary vintages in our ideal storage conditions. Periodically, they are presented at important festive weekends and at our annual Vertical Tasting Weekend. In addition, a section of our original winery building, overlooking an expansive slope of Cabernet Franc and the Blue Ridge beyond, has been remodeled as Library 1821, for comfort and contemplative tastings throughout the year.

In the Library, selected wines are offered in flights ranging $30.00-$90.00 to accompany your wine, Cheese, Charcuterie and a changing “Trattoria-style” menu, by Chef Michael Clough, is offered daily 11am-4pm.

The Library’s Tasting List changes periodically, always to afford a diversified exposure to our varietal range in white wines and in reds, but always including Octagon, Paxxito and older distinguished vintages of more limited supply.

TASTING OUR WINES IN A STROLL OR IN A PIC NIC

We encourage you to stroll the grounds at your own pace to visit the Historic Ruins and peruse the Octagon Cellar independently. The Octagon Barrel Room is open to the visitors for discovering an exhibition of the biography of our signature wine. Guests may guide themselves on a tour of the Landmark Ruins, one of Jefferson’s true architectural masterpieces. In its elegant Palladian proportions and siting on a gentle knoll, the house unmistakably recalls Jefferson’s own, and deeply refreshes our appreciation of structural balance in wine. We warmly recommend a visit.
