A Charlottesville vineyard staple! Definitely one of the best vineyards in Charlottesville. Great views, great wine, and great food.
Another classic vineyard right outside Charlottesville. The mountain views are spectacular. Make sure to try the Crose wine if you go!
With some of the best sunsets in the city, Carter's Mountain is always a good time. Have an apple cider donut while you sip on some wine and take in the view.
Best for sunrise or sunset, Humpback Rock is one of the best hiking trails near Charlottesville. It's a short but steep walk up to incredible views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Shenandoah National Park is about 25 minutes from Charlottesville. There are plenty of trails of different levels of difficulty in the park.
If you haven't been to the Lawn, go to the Lawn. The Lawn is on UVA Grounds and starts at Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda. See Thomas Jefferson's original buildings in the heart of UVA campus.
