Things To Do
University of Virginia
University of Virginia ("UVA") has some of the most appealing grounds of any university. Spend some time seeing the Rotunda or strolling the lawn and gardens.
Monticello
Visit Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson, the Third President of the United States and founder of the University of Virginia.
Visit Wineries and Breweries
While you'll be able to enjoy Veritas on Saturday and King Family on Sunday, there are many other great wineries and breweries in the area. Here are some of our favorites! Hazy Mountain Vineyard & Brewery Blue Mountain Brewery Afton Mountain Vineyards Brewing Tree Septenary Winery
Go Hiking!
The Blue Ridge Mountains are home to some of the most beautiful views. A couple of the more popular views include: (1) Humpback Rock (short, but can be steep); and (2) Old Rag (more challenging, complete with a couple rock scrambles).
Downtown Mall
A historic, outdoor pedestrian mall with numerous shops, restaurants, and other stores - even a historic theater!
Skyline Drive Scenic Roadway, South Terminus
Numerous overlooks running the length of the Shenandoah National Park. Perfect for those wanting a leisurely afternoon drive or a quick sightseeing excursion!

Public Fish and Oyster Orzo Kitchen and Wine Bar Oakhart Social Hamilton's at First and Main Tavola C&O Restaurant Citizen Burger Bar Bodo's Bagels (a Charlottesville staple, great for breakfast or lunch) Christian's Pizza (a go-to late night spot) The Whiskey Jar (have a good drink on the Downtown Mall) The Virginian (great food, and if you stay there long enough you can mingle with the college crowd)
