WASHINGTON, D.C. - April 10, 2026 - President Donald Trump departed the White House Friday afternoon en route to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he is scheduled to participate in a MAGA Inc. meeting and roundtable dinner at Trump Winery.
According to the White House schedule, Trump left Washington, D.C., in the afternoon for the events at the family-owned vineyard. He is set to join a MAGA Inc. meeting at approximately 6:30 p.m. followed by a roundtable dinner at 7:15 p.m. The dinner is expected to take place at the Albemarle Estate mansion on the 1,300-acre property.
This marks the president's first visit to Charlottesville since taking office again and the first presidential visit to the area in over a decade, with the last being former President Barack Obama's tour of Monticello in 2014.
MAGA Inc., the political action committee supporting Trump-aligned causes, has raised significant funds in recent cycles. The closed-press events are described as fundraisers and strategy sessions with supporters. Trump is expected to return to Washington, D.C., later Friday evening.
Trump was seen waving alongside his son Eric Trump as they left the White House grounds. The trip comes amid a busy schedule that also includes upcoming travel to Miami over the weekend.
The visit has drawn local attention, with temporary flight restrictions implemented around Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport for the evening.
No public remarks from the president are scheduled during the Virginia stop, which remains largely closed to the press.
