Cool off on a hot summer’s eve at Poplar Forest! Bring your friends and family out to Thomas Jefferson’s retreat for the summertime version of our popular Barrels, Bottles & Casks tasting tours.

These guided tours begin in Mr. Jefferson’s kitchen and progress through the house with stops along the way to sample different beverages and share insights into the types of foods consumed on the plantation during the hot summer months. Enjoy a cellar-side whisky tasting courtesy of Virginia Distillery Co., along with light seasonal snacks.

Visitors under the age of 21 are welcome; non-alcoholic beverages are available on the tour. Tickets are available for purchase online or by calling the Museum Shop at 434.534.8120.
