Caroline & Travis
Things To Do
Petite MarieBette
We go to Marie Bette probably once a week. They have the BEST sandwiches, croissants, and coffee. If you've never been, it's kind of a must while you're here. My favorite is the Willoughby and Travis is a big fan of the Fifeville. Note, there are two locations. Go to the one Downtown called "Petite Marie Bette" :-)
Cou Cou Rachou
Alright, another must go to place for a quick cup of coffee and a croissant. We recommend the almond croissant!!
The Alley Light
This was where we had our second date! Yep. I met Travis after work one day. He changed his shirt and we grabbed drinks. Great spot.
Foxhaven Farm
We love to take Joey and Stuart here! It's open in some areas, more trail-like in other areas and Joey (specifically) loves going down to the streams along the way to bark at the moving water. It's usually not too crowded too, so that's a plus.
Salute The Sun Yoga
Yep. I am a little biased. This is my yoga studio! It's where I teach and where I practice my yoga. If you are looking for a place to breathe and move your body this weekend definitely reach out to me and I will make sure you are all set! It is such a sweet and cozy yoga studio. I invite you to do yourself and everyone around you a favor by taking a moment to reset and breathe in this space!
HI//low Charlottesville
Alright, I know I am biased but another option if you are in town this weekend and looking to move your body. Another studio I teach at! You will use what's called an XFormer to take a Pilates inspired, high intensity, low impact class. Perfect for everybody. Beginners welcome and your first class is 15$ so that's dope. If you're interested in dropping in while you're in town, reach out and I will make sure you are good to go! :-)
Luce
Hope this isn't too tacky? If you have a second, go visit (probably not Travis) at his pasta shop this weekend if you haven't already! Tiny restaurant, tiny menu. He is insane and would love to have you stop in and enjoy his handmade work of art!
Downtown Mall
Honestly, we take it for granted because we basically live (and work) Downtown but it's fun to just be in and around Downtown, Charlottesville. Lots of shops, good food, and probably some good people watching too if that's your thing.

Corner Juice [UVA Corner]
If you need something "light" and "healthy" - this is my go to! There is one on the Corner AND on the Downtown mall.
Bang!
This might also be tacky but hey, we are who we are. One of the restaurant's Travis owns - a great spot to grab drinks or small plates. Located Downtown next to Rose Jean and Southstreet Inn.
Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards
If you want to visit a winery this could be a fun a one. It's one of my personal favorites. It's super nice!
Eastwood Farm and Winery
Another great option if you want to go to a winery. It's closer than Pippin Hill, really pretty, a little more relaxed and there's lots of outdoor space to hang.
King Family Vineyards
A really fun winery to go to if you have never been. Lot's of outdoor space and it's about 20 minutes away from Downtown Charlottesville. If it's a nice day, bring a blanket, and don't forget sunscreen! It can get toasty sitting out there.
Humpback Rocks
I would plug "Humpback Rocks" into your GPS and click on the one that takes you directly to the trail. This is a great hike. It's quick and dirty. On the way up it's all up hill and then on the way down it's a breeze. We haven't been in a while but it's a go-to!
The Juice Laundry
This could be another option and there is one on Preston. I personally think Corner Juice has better smoothies and juices but I do like Juice Laundry's coffee nut milk drinks.
Hot Yoga Charlottesville
I do love me some HYC as well! This studio is located right downtown too. It's right next to The Space on water street. 10/10 would recommend
