Join us in the visitor center courtyard at Monticello to kick-off Civic Season with a Feast of Reason.

Inspired by Thomas Jefferson’s legendary dinner parties—where great minds gathered to exchange ideas over food and drink—the Feast of Reason is a unique guided conversation dedicated to intellectual exploration, civil discourse, and the pursuit of knowledge. After getting your food and beverage, sit down with friends, old and new, and engage in conversation using our new conversation card deck. Dialogue about civics is the goal! Here, everyone shares ideas and learns from one another.

Registration is free and food and beverages from the Monticello Café and Jefferson Vineyards will be available for purchase.
