Albemarle Estate Homes

Albemarle County embraces both Charlottesville, rich in history and culture, and Vineyard Estates, blessed by nature with the prime soil, favorable climate and sun exposure necessary to grow grapes that produce fine wines. This is much sought-after land; neighboring estates on Carter’s Mountain include Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello and James Monroe’s Ash Lawn-Highland. As Monticello may be considered the birthplace of American viticulture, Kluge Estate may be considered an heir to this noble tradition and has become one of the most prestigious wineries in Virginia. Vineyard Estate owners who wish to continue this legacy by becoming vintners may create private label wines in concert with Kluge Estate winemakers.
