Breweries, Cideries, Distilleries
Charlottesville is one of the premier destinations to experience the best the craft beer world has to offer. Whether you follow the “Ale Trail” of local downtown breweries all within walking distance, or venture out to Nelson County’s “Brew Ridge Trail”, (Virginia’s original beer trail) to sip beer by the Rockfish River, you will find endless craft beverage options each with their own unique setting, food options, and events.
