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".
==History==
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.〔Lay, K. Edward. "The Architecture of Jefferson County." University of Virginia Press, 2000. p. 140〕 Carter maintained a mill there and his son Colonel Edward Carter built the first house there at Blenheim. The British Commander Major General Wiliam Philips resided at Blenheim while a prisoner during the Revolutionary War.〔Lay, K. Edward. "The Architecture of Jefferson County." University of Virginia Press, 2000. p. 57〕 Both Thomas Jefferson and Martha Jefferson were frequent guests at Blenheim during Phillips' captivity there.〔Davis, Robert. "Where a man can go: Major General William Phillips, British Royal Artillery, 1731-1781." Greenwood Publishing Group, 1999. p. 102〕 The Blenheim house was offered for sale at a public auction in 1840 and the original house eventually burned down by the mid-nineteenth century.〔Lay, K. Edward. "The Architecture of Jefferson County." University of Virginia Press, 2000. p.57〕
Blenheim farm was purchased in 1999 by musician Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band. The Matthews family purchased the land to preserve Blenheim's historical significance and to eventually farm the land in some way.〔Blackwell, Mary Alice and Causey, Anne Patterson. "Insiders' Guide to Virginia's Blue Ridge, 9th"Globe Pequot. 2005, p. 388〕 The Matthews family made the decision to plant new grape vines on the remnants of an old vineyard that was on the property. Brad McCarthy was one of the original winemaker at Blenheim Vineyards along with Peter Matthews.〔Frater, Elisabeth. "Breaking Away to Virginia and Maryland Wineries" Capital Books. 2002, p. 115〕 Matthews is on the growing list of celebrities who own wineries and vineyards.
In 2008 the current Blenheim winemaker Kirsty Harmon joined Blenheim vineyards. Harmon, one of several female winemakers in Virginia, is a graduate of the University of Virginia and studied under Virginia winemaker Gabriele Rausse at the Kluge Estate run by the deceased billionaire John Kluge's ex-wife Patricia Kluge.〔Reynolds, Grace ("Artisanal and Accessible" ) "Flavor Magazine Virginia," July 23, 2009, Accessed November 15, 2010.〕
