Thanks to the Italy-based Zonin family, Virginia is for wine lovers. They are pioneers of planting European grapevines in the eastern United States. First sowing the vines in 1976 on a property whose original home was designed by Thomas Jefferson. The residence was for then-governor James Barbour; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Lucky me, I got to stay in the Octagon Suite. Barboursville Vineyard produces my fave Virginia Cabernet Sauvignon. I recommend it.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10447\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10447\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10447 colorbox-10441 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ann-tran.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/WashingtonDCTenBestFallFoliagePhotographySpotsBarboursville-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" data-pin-title=\"Discover the best locations to capture Autumn during social distancing.
