Things To Do
The Rotunda
Visit the University of Virginia's central icon and UNESCO world heritage site! The rotunda provides the iconic backdrop for Mr. Jefferson's university. Walk around grounds and see where Michael & Lauren studied.
Bodo's Bagels
Bodo's has become a Charlottesville institution. Visit one of their many locations around Charlottesville for the best bagel sandwiches and coffee. Don't ask for your bagel toasted as the bagels are so fresh and warm they don't need a toaster!
King Family Vineyards
This is our favorite vineyard in the area, we highly recommend visiting! We got engaged in front of their barn and polo field. After some wine tasting, head to Pro re Nata Brewery down the street for some amazing beer!
Pro Re Nata Brewery
Pro Re Nata is one of our very favorite breweries in the area! They also have killer nachos.
Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards
This is where we fell in love with wine tasting together! Pippin Hill is a #1 recommended destination for most out-of-towners so be prepared for a bit of a wait. The view is worth it. After some wine drinking, we recommend Dr. Ho's Humble Pie across the street for the best pizza and ranch dressing.
Dr. Ho's Humble Pie
After sampling the tasty wine at Pippin Hill, jump across the street to simply the best pizza around! Don't skip the ranch sauce, it is made in house and the only ranch worthy of dipping their amazing pizza into.
Potter's Craft Cider
Potter's Cider specializes in unique and DELICIOUS ciders! They recently converted a beautiful church into their tasting room and includes spectacular views and a great yard. You will not be disappointed by this wonderful location. Pro Tip: Bring your Dr. Ho's Humble Pie here!
Ace Biscuit & Barbecue
We cannot recommend this amazing breakfast barbecue place enough! Everything is made in house from the biscuits to the sauces. Head here Sunday morning after maybe one too many drinks at our dance party, get the hash-browns and smokey gravy and all will be right in the world.
Three Notch'd Craft Kitchen & Brewery
Not only does Three Notch'd have amazing beer and a killer cocktail list, but their food is great too!
Beer Run
Beer Run has an amazing beer store as well as killer food! Order the loaded nachos and get the tiramisu for dessert, you will not be disappointed. Peruse their refrigerated beer and have your server open one to enjoy with your food, then take a six-pack home with you.
Monticello
Visit Thomas Jefferson's Historic Monticello! It is a beautiful space, especially in the fall.
Trump Winery Tasting Room
Visit the Trump Winery Tasting Room, duh!!!! Don't miss the Sparkling wines, they are to die for.
Bold Rock Hard Cider
Bold Rock Cidery is a beautiful area to visit! It is a little bit of a drive, but Nelson 151 is a beautiful road full of amazing breweries, distilleries, and wineries.
