A note from Montifalco…
We’re heading back to France this week to button up the new Maison Mirabeau guest house and take care of the olive oil business, but before anyone gets any ideas, we’re not moving for good! We’ll return August 12 in time for the annual Leo Festival August 22 and to have fun for my 50th! The winery is being left in the capable hands of our amazing human team and a highly motivated gaggle of geese who have unanimously appointed themselves Acting Management.
Current responsibilities include:
🪿 Gandalf – Director of Guest Relations🪿 Baguette – Head of Vineyard Security🪿 Crouton – Assistant to the Head of Vineyard Security🪿 🪿 Amelia Egghart and Yolkahontas – Loud commentary and quality control
While we visit our olive groves and drink entirely too much espresso, the DM team will continue pouring wines, welcoming guests, and providing the signature Montifalco experience you love! Regular hours: Saturday & Sundays Noon-5pm. Closed this year for July 4 weekend and on August 8th. More to come et à bientôt! - Justin Falco

Fun fact… The monarchs that overwinter in the mountains of central Mexico leave in late winter and head north into Texas and the southern United States. They lay eggs and die.
Their offspring continue northward, laying eggs along the way. It takes three to four generations for monarchs to repopulate the eastern United States and Canada.
By the time monarchs arrive in Virginia in late spring and summer, they are often the grandchildren or great-grandchildren of the butterflies that left Mexico.
Then, in late summer and fall, a special generation is born in Virginia and farther north. Unlike the summer generations that live only a few weeks, these “super monarchs” can live 8–9 months and are the ones that migrate all the way back to Mexico—sometimes traveling 2,000–3,000 miles.
So, a monarch fluttering through your flowers likely hatched somewhere in Virginia or a neighboring state. But its great-grandparents spent the winter in Mexico.
Coming this Summer… a new vintage of Resilient!

Today is bottling day at Domaine Montifalco. 🍷
One of the most rewarding moments in the cellar — watching months of work in the vineyard and winery finally make their way into bottle.
2025 Chardonnay, 2025 L’Espoir(Viognier Chardonnay blend), 2024 Old Vine Cabernet Franc
The tanks empty. The bottles fill. And another vintage becomes part of the story.
Join us this weekend for a pre-release taste!

There’s still time to make a difference ❤️
If you’re planning a Costco run this week, donations are still being accepted at our local Charlottesville Costco in support of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, like UVA!

Every little bit helps support children and families receiving care close to home. If you’re able, consider adding a small donation at checkout before the fundraiser wraps up May 31.
Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to something so meaningful to us.

A welcome change of pace.
After Spring days of Summer heat, Memorial Day Weekend is bringing cooler air and a little rain to the vineyard—and we’re embracing it.
Join us indoors for our VIP Seating Wine Tasting Experience by reservation and enjoy one of our favorite kinds of wine days: rain on the vines, conversation at the table, and no rush to be anywhere else.

David Attenborough:
‘Here, deep within the rolling vineyards of Virginia, we witness two remarkable courtship rituals unfolding simultaneously.
The male stink bug, driven entirely by instinct and astonishing confidence, pursues his chosen mate with the subtlety of a tractor and the persistence of a telemarketer.

Nearby, the spotted lantern fly begins an elaborate mating display of his own… a curious side-to-side dance accompanied by a dramatic foot kick believed to communicate dominance, agility… or perhaps simply enthusiasm.

The female remains unimpressed.

And so, beneath the evening sun of Montifalco, nature continues her strange and deeply uncomfortable ballet.’” 🍷🪲🕺
