Blenheim Vineyards is a winery located in the Piedmont region of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the county of Albemarle. It is located within both the Virginia and Monticello viticultural areas and is among the 23 wineries located on the "Monticello Wine Trail". Blenheim Vineyards is located on the historic Virginia farm claimed in 1730 by Secretary of the Virginia Colony John Carter who had a grant for 9,350 acres of land in Albemarle County, Virginia just south of Monticello near what is now known as Carter's Mountain. Carter maintained a mill there and his son Colonel Edward Carter built the first house there at Blenheim. The British Commander Major General William Philips resided at Blenheim while a prisoner during the Revolutionary War. Both Thomas Jefferson and Martha Jefferson were frequent guests at Blenheim during Phillips' captivity there. The Blenheim house was offered for sale at a public auction in 1840 after the original house had been destroyed by fire. More information...
