Albemarle County, Virginia
Client: Kluge Estate Winery & Vineyard
Acreage: 1,200
Completed: Ongoing

Located just south of Charlottesville, Virginia and within a few miles of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and James Monroe's Ash Lawn, the Kluge Estate Winery & Vineyard is one of the premier wineries in Virginia. The winery seeks to become a destination not just for wine enthusiasts, but also for visitors who wish to experience the breadth and beauty of the Virginia Piedmont.

The Estate has asked Field Sport Concepts affiliate, McKee Carson, to develop a master plan which is focused in three ways: to improve the Estate's sustainability, to expand the visitor's experience (agritainment), and to enhance the vineyard's connection to the surrounding Piedmont landscape.

The master plan for the Estate is currently under development and working in close collaboration with the owners, strategies are being developed for incorporating wildlife and riparian corridors through the farm's agricultural areas. Other measures include the establishment of sustainable timber managment practices and the production of biofuels to support the vineyard's mechanical equipment.
