Charlottesville is situated along the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, offering visitors a one-of-a-kind experience in a scenic setting. It’s the hometown of the legendary Thomas Jefferson, which honors his memory with two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the University of Virginia and Monticello, the grounds of his former home. The area has over 30 orchards and vineyards, making it ideal for romantic days and nights tasting delectable fruits and fine wines. Charlottesville has an exciting restaurant scene, an array of extraordinary events, and their famous brick-lined Historic Downtown Mall. Shenandoah National Park, Ash-Lawn-Highland, and The Corner – a seven-block area with a collection of restaurants, bookstores, bars, and night-time spots – should also be on couples’ radars.
