“Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards is a dream setting for a wedding! The mountain views, vineyard vibes, and beautifully designed spaces create such a romantic and elevated atmosphere. We've had the honor of performing here and are always blown away by how smoothly the events run, thanks to the kind and attentive staff. It's truly a venue that makes every moment feel magical.“

“I come here all the time and I really like it!! I always get coffee or milk tea with boba and cheese foam… always fresh and tasty… tend to not put much ice even at 100% ice, which is a plus for me. I’ve never had trouble getting a seat inside, but the building is often pretty noisy at opening time/in the afternoons. Parking nearby is difficult but that’s just normal for this part of town. Really really glad to have this shop, such a great treat. :)“

“Love it 🥰 pizza and service are fantastic.“

“Selvedge has been one of my favorite places in the Charlottesville area. The location is perfect for a nice escape from the college town vibes. Menu and beer selection is great! My favorites are the smashburger, hotdog, wings, mac n cheese, and the kale salad! Rick and the rest of the staff are friendly and simply awesome!! Oh - don’t forget to try the popsicles!! AAA+++ 👍👍“

“The food is delicious and if you're looking for the best Cuban coffee in CVille, this is your place!“

“Stumbled upon Whistle Stop Grill and the Stoney Creek Freedom Fest this weekend. We had their Maple bacon burger and it was so good we had to get a second one the next day for lunch. I definitely recommend trying.“

“We LOVE Potter's! I discovered their ciders when I lived in Virginia Beach and I was SO happy when I realized we were moving near the cidery in Charlottesville. Their ciders are really varied, with lots of different flavors and fun combinations. We are particular fans of the petite cider - it's crisp and dry and we find ourselves reaching for it all the time at home. We also really loved the strawberry ginger, and they had one recently that was like a pet nat. I love that all the ciders are fresh and dry and not super sweet. They don't feel heavy or syrupy at all, like some others do.

Anyway - I could go on forever. But, the place is super cute. It's in an old renovated church up on a hill. There's tons of parking and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. They have a great variety of snacks and some food (sandwiches and such). We try to get over there when we can, but we've always got a pack (or 3) of their ciders at our house.

Highly recommend. Just go!“

“Best food value in Charlottesville. High quality food, served quickly at a reasonable price.“

“Wonderful experience! Hubby and I visited the tasting room for Valentine's Day. We shared the Reserve flight and Valentine's Wine & Chocolate flight. We took home bottles of four of the eight wines in the flights. The food, corn chowder and a crimini mushroom flatbread, was excellent too. It's all cooked to order & served at the table. Very attentive service. Beautiful setting with sweeping views. I'm so happy that we chose it to celebrate Valentine's Day. It'll be easy to persuade hubby to take me again for my birthday in the summer.“

“We had such a great time at this winery! The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the views were absolutely gorgeous—one of those places where you just sit back and soak it all in. The fire pits were such a perfect touch too, making it cozy and inviting, especially as the sun started to go down.

The staff was friendly, the wine was delicious, and the whole experience felt effortless in the best way. It’s the kind of spot you want to stay at for hours. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“FLAT OUT = 6 STAR Restaurant !!
Oh sure it's easy to say that the front of the house staff Kills It Every Night - cause they do. But it's the KITCHEN that Crushingly makes so easy to say I'll be Back!
This night we had 4 dishes and each one was better than the last.
Finish everything up with a tasty mango sticky rice dessert.
Really, terrific and thank you. Great palate cleanser in-between days of turkey and stuffing.
Reservations are highly recommend.“

“Absolutely beautiful late afternoon at Septenary Winery at Seven Oaks Farm. The Carriage House 2019, Delicious!!!“

“Our favorite brunch location in Cville. The fried green tomatoes are amazing. Excellent service and selection.“

“Great selection of local brews and neighborhood bar.“

“Not too long ago I discovered Sk Coffee and I’m already in love with it. Not only do you get greeted with smiles but you get great quality coffee. Sk coffee is a great place to go to if you want a quiet environment for studies etc. I 100% recommend this to anybody!“

“Fantastic sandwiches! We got take out lunch and it was delicious!“

“Hands down the best food I’ve gotten at a restaurant EVER!!! My husband and I do t go out to eat due to all my food allergies but I think we’ve FINALLY found somewhere that won’t kill me. Amazing gluten free options and so so friendly!! The cook, seasoning and freshness of the food was phenomenal… happy friendly and knowledgeable staff! Our server was such a sweetie! definitely will be our date night go to from now on.“

“Fabulous place to spend an hour or a whole afternoon. The tasting room is cozy and the grounds are breath taking. And the wine...whether white or red,you will find a favorite. One of our favorites is the Screaming Hawk Meritage. highly recommend!!“

“DO NOT miss the Smoked Kitchen. During a recent "leaf peeping" drive from Richmond, we visited Crozet in time for lunch. First, the location is easy to find and easy to park. Second, they welcome dogs. (A real plus.) But MOST IMPORTANTLY the the food is top notch and the service can't be beat. The pulled pork is the best we've EVER eaten. (I don't use CAPS very often.) Speaking as Virginia/North Carolina customers, that's quite a statement. It's dry, lean and melt in your mouth. Plenty of sauces to choose from if you wish. Absolutely terrific. We bought A POUND to take home. No kidding. The smoked chicken salad sandwich was excellent. And the beer - well, what a nice addition to a great meal.“

“Fast service good prices and very very very yummy 😋“

“We reserved a private tasting room at Michael Shaps Winery to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday, and the entire experience was excellent. The wines were surprisingly good—well-crafted and balanced—even considering the challenges of Virginia terroir. We added charcuterie plates to the tasting, which were beautifully presented and paired nicely with the wines.

The service was exceptional from start to finish—attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The private room had a comfortable, understated elegance that made the whole afternoon feel special without being stuffy. A great choice for anyone looking to enjoy quality wine in a refined yet relaxed setting.“

“We had an amazing experience with Red Hub Catering. They provided our cocktail hour food, reception buffet, cutting cake, bartending service, and Sunday brunch. The food and service were impeccable. For bartending service, Red Hub provided the bar set up and mixers, but allowed us to provide our own alcohol which is uncommon among catering vendors. Red Hub generated a custom menu for our reception that consisted of a nacho bar for cocktail hour followed by a taco buffet for dinner. They also baked a beautiful cutting cake and delivered brunch to the lodge we were at the following morning for everyone to enjoy. Overall an incredible vendor who expertly provided us multiple wedding services.“

“We got here a bit early. We were on vacation. The bartender was super helpful and friendly. Enjoyed the 5 beer flight and ordered a few. I liked the sours, my wife likes the Hef. Couldn't have asked for better service. Locals were friendly and we had an enjoyable time! Thanks for everything.“

“We have enjoyed restoration for more than eight years. Their menu, service, and prices have never been better.\n\nWe recently had a family brunch, and it was delightful. The menu is very well crafted. The prices are excellent. And the service has always been great. \n\nSitting on their patio on a warm fall Sunday morning, made it a fun memorable experience .“

“The Department of Pediatrics at UVA had an absolutely fantastic experience hosting our department holiday party at Pro Re Nata! The venue was warm and inviting, the setup was seamless, and every detail was thoughtfully executed. Special thanks to Nora, the event coordinator, who went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. Her organization, professionalism, and friendly demeanor made the planning process a breeze. From the decor to the accommodations, Nora and the team exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Pro Re Nata for any event—you won’t be disappointed!“
