Charlottesville fall bucket list
Here’s a list of things to do and places to visit for the rest of the season
If you’re wondering what to do on a cool Fall weekend or if you have friends coming into town and want to go to a festival or on a hike, these activities in C-ville are a must.
1. Go to Skyline Drive
This view from Skyline Drive is incredible in the Fall. Bring a blanket, pack a cooler and enjoy the scenery on a cool day.
2. Trick or Treating on the Lawn
This year the event will be held on Monday, October 31st. Don’t miss all of the adorable children and dogs in costumes on the lawn!
3. Wine Tours
Check out a few of the 22 vintners on the Monticello Wine Trail.
4. Apple Picking at Carter Mountain
Carter Mountain embodies all things Fall with its famous apple cider donuts, pumpkins and scenic view. Open 9 am to 6 pm daily.
5. Hike Humpback
It’s on the list of things to do before you graduate, and it’s a perfect place for an sunrise or sunset hike. With the leaves beginning to change, the view is incredible.
