Like to play bocce? This is the place to go. Or to get the semi-feeling you could be a German beerhall? Lots of beers to choose from and an ample food menu too. Packed usually, but roomy enough to usually get a spot.

Wineries

Thomas Jefferson dreamed of producing great American wine in Monticello. Unfortunately, due to environmental issues and political upheaval, Jefferson's vision for Monticello was never realized during his lifetime. Today, his dream is a reality thanks to the formation of the Monticello Wine Trail. The Monticello Wine Trail is a network of more than 30 wineries that are part of Virginia's American Viticultural Area. Several of these wineries, which sit within a 30-mile radius of Charlottesville,

One of the most popular wineries where many a wedding has taken place (including possibly Jennifer Aniston's - or was that just gossip I heard; regardless, it would not surprise me). The wine is delicious and the views are unparalleled. Can get crowded, so consider making a reservation first.
