THOMAS JEFFERSON'S POPLAR FOREST
For those who have chosen the magnificent constructions designed by Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the United States, as a red thread, let us not forget to include in their journey the planting of Poplar Forest, which was used by the architect of the Virginia State Capitol for some private retirement. This'loneliness of the hermit'was forbidden by the crowd of visitors who came to visit him in his residence of Monticello. Built from 1806 until Jefferson's death, this magnificent octagonal house of palladian style was considered by its owner as its masterpiece. Every November, a wine festival allows participants to discover the wines of the region and to drink in memory of Jefferson, a great wine-lover and pioneer of vine culture in the United States.
