"We visited Monticello in April and this is a must see! Monticello is absolutely fascinating.
The grounds and the house alone are worth seeing. But you also learn a great deal about Thomas Jefferson and his life, career and travels. It’s so neat to learn about the evolution of the actual house (Mo..."nticello) and how/when it was built. It was added on to or changed many times. The tour guides do a great job of pointing out interesting things in the house. I really enjoyed learning about his travels and the way he incorporated things he ran across in Europe into his own house. There are lots of little quirks like this throughout the house.
Tip: if you are going to Monticello, buy your tickets in advance. We didn’t realize this, and just showed up one afternoon only to wait in line forever to discover that if we toured that day, we would have to wait several hours for a tour time. We decided to leave and purchase tickets online for the next day. So, I would suggest buying your tickets ...

"On a recent trip to the Charlottesville area, my husband and I visited 6 or 7 vineyards throughout a five day trip. This one was one of our favorites for several reasons. First, we both loved the wine. We are both wine drinkers and love to try new ones. We both found almost every wine we sampled del..."icious. It was hard to decide which ones to buy. Of course, all of this is purely my personal opinion…with wine, you just cannot please everyone, but we loved it. Second, we experienced great service here on our wine tasting, with a nice young lady who told us all about their wine. Third, there is nothing pretentious about this place. I loved the setting (a renovated barn) and the staff is friendly, nice, helpful, and laid back. Lastly, the wine is so very affordable. After visiting vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, and parts of France, it was incredibly refreshing to be at a place that was laid back with delicious wine and on top of it all…affordable!

"I love Champion. I have been going here almost weekly since they opened up this past Fall. Hunter is one who does not settle on just 4-5 beers and lets them stay on tap but he is always trying new styles and beers to rotate. Of course they have their staple Missle IPA, Killer Kolsch,and Porter but C..."hampion routine debuts 1-2 new beers each month to keep their 5-6 lines with new beers. The building is unassuming but when you walk in the door, you are greeted by a punch of malts to the face! The inside is simple but really cool. Drew is a great bartender. Champion does not serve food but they welcome you to bring your own, allow you to receive delivery, and food trucks are parked out front routinely Wed - Sat each week. The food truck scene is up & coming in C'Ville. Champion does a great job giving each truck the opportunity to serve.
The beer is fantastic and the people you meet are great. Champion is a wonderful addition to the hot craft brewery destination that Charlottesville is...
