Shakespeare fans returned to Barboursville Vineyards this summer for a magical evening of wine and open-air theatre set at the foot of the striking Barboursville Ruins. The ruins were once the home of Gov. James Barbour who built the home with the help of friend and architect, Thomas Jefferson. The home was finished in 1822 but tragically burned on Christmas Day in 1884. It now stands as the centerpiece of the prestigious Barboursville Vineyards, whose award-winning wines are produced on the stunning estate.

Surrounded by an historic boxwood garden, the setting is the perfect backdrop for Four County Players to stage performances such as "Much Ado About Nothing" and “A Midsummer’s Night Dream” in which nature is such an important aspect, almost a character unto itself. @ https://wineandcountrylife.com/barboursville-vineyards-celebrates-40th/
