Things To Do
Carter Mountain Orchard and Country Store
Just minutes from downtown, this charming orchard offers seasonal fruit picking, famous apple cider doughnuts, and sweeping valley views of Charlottesville!
Downtown Mall
Take a stroll along the downtown mall and enjoy local shopping and dining. Apparently it's one of the longest pedestrian malls in the country!
Humpback Rocks Trail
Hike Humpback Rocks-4.0 mile hike (2 miles out and back). Beautiful 360 views of the area. We hiked this on our first trip ever to Charlottesville. I don't recall cursing Kevin's name on this hike as I do others.
King Family Vineyards
If you can't make our Welcome Gathering, be sure to stop by at some point during the weekend. Enjoy the stunning blue ridge mountain backdrop while you sip on their famous rosé. It's a 22 minute drive from downtown and must do in Charlottesville!
Veritas Vineyards and Winery
Delicious wine and great views.
Monticello
For history lovers, visit this UNESCO World Heritage Site and former home of Thomas Jefferson. We recommend purchasing tickets in advance on their website.
University of Virginia
Neither of us went to UVA (Go Hokies and Hoosiers)...but it's a gorgeous campus to walk around and pretend you're a student!
