Charlottesville is a very special place for us, and we are so grateful to be able to host you all. Please see some of our favorite places below if you are looking for things to do in the area!
The Rotunda
1826 University Avenue, Charlottesville, VA 22904, (434) 924-7969
We are certainly biased, but UVA is beautiful and a great place to walk around. Although we didn't know each other while at UVA, we must have passed each other countless times across the lawn and grounds. The Rotunda is now an extra special place, as it's where Spencer proposed.
Saunders-Monticello Trail
Saunders-Monticello Trail, VA 22902
This is one of our favorite walks in Charlottesville. Maggie has enjoyed many coffees and chats with childhood friends on this trail!

1435 Carters Mountain Trail, Charlottesville, VA 22902, (434) 977-1833
Enjoy some of the best Fall views in Charlottesville over a cider, apple cider doughnut, or a freshly picked apple.

Humpback Rock Hiking Trail
Humpback Gap Overlook, Afton, VA 22920
Humpback rock is a really fun hiking trail with fantastic views at the top! It is relatively quick, but it is a steep hike. If you have time, check out the Visitors Center and Mountain Farm, which is a collection of farm buildings from the 1890s relocated here.

If the weather is nice and you're feeling adventurous, rent kayaks from the Rivanna River Company and head down the Rivanna River for a few hours! We have enjoyed many river cruises with Maggie's family on the Rivanna!
