 We currently have a 7 acre vineyard and will have a farm winery as soon as the licensing process is complete.  We hope to be open for tasting and tours in 2005.  Our hours of operation will be 1:00 - 5:00 Wednesday - Sunday and from April 1 - November 30.  We will bottle approximately 1,500 cases annually when we are a full production.  Our goal is to create a relaxing atmosphere where we welcome visitors to our home and extend the southern hospitality for which our region is known.  

Upcoming Events

• May 17 - Restoration Talk and Tour - 3:00pm to 4:00pm - In honor of National Historic Preservation month, Director of Restoration Travis McDonald will present a slide talk and tour explaining why Jefferson's design of his retreat, Poplar Forest, was a radically modern work of architecture in America for its time. Jefferson's work was a "melting pot" of architectural prototypes but also very personal. The current restoration work on the wing of service rooms is one of the most Jeffersonian parts of the architecture and one that was innovative and unusual in American architecture. Standard admission charge, which also includes a separate tour of the house either before or after the restoration tour. - Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest, 1548 Bateman Bridge Road, Route 661, Forest - 434-525-1806 - www.poplarforest.org
