Things To Do
Thomas Jefferson's Monticello
You'll feel like you're on the back of a nickel. Home of the author of the Declaration of Independence.
Shenandoah National Park
Ken proposed at the summit of Turk Mountain - it's a great little hike if you have a few hours to spare. The Rockfish Gap (South) entrance is the closest to Charlottesville.
Ravens Roost Overlook
Stunning drive with lots of overlooks! This is where we had our engagement pictures taken!
Eastwood Farm and Winery
Probably the easiest winery to get to in town and one of our favs! Get a grilled cheese while you're there.
King Family Vineyards
Watch a game of polo and enjoy mountain views with a crisp rosé!
Bang!
Andrea loves this restaurant! Lots of fun options and vegetarian-friendly.
Three Notch'd Craft Kitchen & Brewery - Charlottesville
This is Tulip's favorite brewery in town.
Daedalus Bookshop
More than 100,000 used books in a three-story, cozy and funky labyrinth on the Downtown Mall.
Rivanna River Company
Kayak and canoe rentals on the scenic Rivanna River. Also shares a parking lot with Hogwaller Brewing - which is a favorite of ours!
Downtown Mall
Cute downtown area with lots of shops and restaurants. This was the first place Ken took Andrea when they visited Charlottesville for the first time.
