Barboursville Vineyards is a winery located in the Piedmont region of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the unincorporated town of Barboursville, Virginia. The winery was founded in 1976 by Gianni Zonin, an Italian winemaker from the Veneto in Italy. Barboursville Vineyards is part of an affiliated group of wineries owned by Zonin and based in Italy. The winery is built on the grounds of Barboursville, the home of the 19th Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, James Barbour. The home was built from 1814 through 1822 and is based on an architectural design provided by Barbour's political ally and friend, Thomas Jefferson. Barboursville Vineyards has won numerous awards for its wine and is considered one of the leading wineries in Virginia.
Barboursville Vineyards is located in both the Virginia and Monticello American Viticultural Areas.
