One of the anchors of the Monticello wine region and a perennial award-winner, King Family is an elegant, beautifully run estate winery with expansive mountain views and a genuine commitment to quality. Their Meritage took the Virginia Governor’s Cup in 2019, and they’ve been winning awards ever since. The tasting room is gracious, the grounds are stunning, and the polo matches on summer Sundays are a beloved local tradition. A must-visit — and notably, the winery that mentored Fallen Tree Vineyard as it was getting started.
