swipe to see how we spent a day in Charlottesville ➡️
Here’s our ideal itinerary for a day trip from Richmond:
🏛️ tour the grounds at Monticello : Kick off the day with a dose of culture, architecture and expansive, blooming gardens at Jefferson’s estate
🍷 at Pollak Vineyards take a break for lunch with a view. The outdoor patio offers an incredible panorama of the Blue Ridge Mountains, paired perfectly with their excellent local wines
🏞️ a relaxing hike through Shenandoah National Park This park offers challenging climbs or gentle, shaded paths, and the local wildlife might even make an appearance!
