Not every town has unparalleled vistas, a Cab Franc made at the hands of the same person pouring it, or Dave Matthews and John Grisham walking by as you enjoy lunch at a café on its historic pedestrian mall—but Charlottesville does.
It's urban and bucolic, historic yet modern. There are boundless hiking trails, wedding venues, wineries, breweries, boutique retail shops, and theaters (not to mention more restaurant seats than there are people to fill them). It's for the limitless adventurer, the wine-taster, the music-seeker, and the family searching for a new experience.
At Charlottesville Insider, our goal is simple: to showcase what to do in Charlottesville by curating our ideas about what makes it unique. Follow our insiders to see what's new, find exclusive deals, or simply figure out how to spend your day in our favorite city.

Best place to run in Cville?
Ridge/Decca Road is one of my favorite running routes. Long, peaceful stretches with rolling hills. Bonus points if you catch a sunrise run!


Favorite burger in town?
Jack Brown's, hands down! My favorite pairing is the Cowboy burger with sweet potato fries and Jack's secret sauce!

🍕🍷 It's a Saturday night and you need a quick bite before a show at the Paramount. You don't want counter service, but need to get in and out. Try hitting the bar at @crushpadwines for some pizza and wine!
