Spend a week retracing the steps of our

Monticello and Poplar Forest estates,
a morning spent strolling the grounds
of James Madison’s Montpelier, and
tours of wineries and private properties
in Albemarle County. Experience

restaurant scene, from fine dining along
the Downtown Mall to rustic Southern fare
at a 19th-century tavern. Between the

unforgettable retreat.
