Orange County, Virginia

Montpelier and Virginia wine country - from James Madison's Montpelier (the beautifully restored home of the Father of the Constitution and fourth President of the United States, Montpelier in Orange County is one of Virginia's most significant presidential sites, offering tours of the mansion, grounds, and the Constitution-focused museum that explores Madison's pivotal role in creating the framework of American government) to Orange County's thriving wine region (the county's rolling Piedmont terrain supports an expanding cluster of acclaimed wineries contributing to Virginia's wine trail, with the Rapidan River valley producing notable varietals in the shadow of the Blue Ridge).
