There are several annual events that attract the crowds, but they’re just the beginning of Charlottesville’s charm. Here, you’ll discover a vibrant, close-knit community that celebrates its unique culture with events throughout the year that include steeplechase racing, orchard outings and the Ash Lawn Opera Festival at the Paramount Theater downtown… So get those bags packed and come on over!

Thanks to Thomas Jefferson’s dream of vines on Monticello, now you can taste your way around the viticultural offerings of 10 wineries in the Monticello Viticultural Area. Welcome to Charlottesville.
