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.
