About this Event
Grand Illumination Celebration: A Taste of Italy
Tickets: $35 – Includes tastings of four Jefferson’s Journey wines and their paired accompaniments.
Join us as we toast to the start of the holiday season in Colonial Williamsburg and the magic of Grand Illumination with an exclusive evening of wine, history, and flavor.
Embark on A Taste of Italy as you explore Thomas Jefferson’s Journey, a collection of Italian wines inspired by Jefferson’s travels through Italy on a secret trip in 1787. Crafted in collaboration with our Sister Winery Sassaia, this series celebrates Jefferson’s enduring spirit of exploration, culture, and craftsmanship.
Savor thoughtfully paired small bites that complement each wine’s unique story and character, as you’re transported from the rolling hills of Virginia to the vineyards of Northern Italy.
Throughout the evening, enjoy a special meet-and-greet with the owners of Sassaia Winery, as well as The Williamsburg Winery’s CEO and his wife, Cierra, who will be joining in the celebration.
Let this evening be your first toast of the holiday season, a blend of history, hospitality, and the timeless joy of good wine shared among friends.
