▷ 🥇 Itinerary for a bachelorette party in Charlottesville

A bachelorette party in Charlottesville is a great option for wine lovers looking for an East Coast destination to celebrate. Charlottesville, Virginia (or known as Cville if you’re from here), sits along a section of the Blue Ridge Mountains and is full of vineyards and wineries that you can visit on your daughters’ getaway weekend. Along with its winery and vineyard options, Cville is also home to the University of Virginia – Go Hoos! – The Thomas Jefferson Plantation, Monticello, and other must-see sites and attractions. So if you’re thinking of hosting a Charlottesville bachelorette party and need help when it comes to where to stay or what to do, we’ve got you covered.

Get started planning your Charlottesville bachelorette party by following this guide.


To do

Since Charlottesville is filled with some of the best vineyards and wineries in the area, we definitely suggest that you plan a winery tour during your trip. Just book a taxi or bus, like the popular Wahooptie Taxi, and spend a day at the different wineries. From the beautiful Pippin Hill Farms and Vineyards to the family-owned Veritas Vineyard and Winery, the wineries on the Monticello Wine Trail are a must-see during your Charlottesville bridal shower.

After a day full of tastings of various flavors of wine, we suggest that you spend a little of your time exploring the Downtown Mall. It is one of the longest pedestrian malls in the United States and has many boutique stores for shopping, as well as a selection of restaurants where you can stop for a bite to eat.

The University of Virginia is also located in the heart of Charlottesville and has a beautiful campus that can be explored during the party. Whether you’re looking for a morning walk after having coffee with your friends or you just want to get out of the house or hotel before booking your dinner, UVA is easy to walk around and offers you tons of photos. Our favorites include the Rotunda and The Lawn.
