Road Trip: 2 Days in Charlottesville, VA
Introduction
The area in and around Charlottesville was once home to 3 of our nation’s earliest presidents— Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and James Monroe— and today over 200 years later, their legacy can still be felt as seemingly all roads lead to a presidential estate or historic landmark dating back to the American Revolution.
However, today’s Charlottesville is as contemporary as it is reverent of the past. A bustling downtown district has seen historic buildings evolve into modernized shops and restaurants, and is a popular spot for University of Virginia students and visitors alike.
The region’s thriving wine scene (which has ties back to Thomas Jefferson!) has paved the way for artisan craft beer and cider-makers to join in the fun.
And the natural beauty of the area has led to high-end resorts that cater to an upscale crowd, with perks like fine-dining, world-class golf courses and infinity pools.
