Spanish Tapas that are delicious! Whether you get a bunch of small plates for yourself or if you share across your group to get more options it’s overall a great food experience.

Their sushi is beautifully crafted. I’d highly recommend getting multiple orders of their Avocado Tempura - it’s too good to just have one serving of and it’s always the first to be devoured when dining with my family.

My Favorite Wineries to Visit
Delicious wine, amazing views, and dog friendly! They do have very limited parking so you may arrive to them being at capacity unfortunately but it’s not a far drive from Downtown Charlottesville.

Award Winning Wines, Amazing Views, Dog Friendly and Laid-back atmosphere. I’d recommend making a reservation if you plan on being in their Indoor Tasting Room due to it’s growing popularity but the Outdoor Tasting Room is always open for picnicking and enjoying their wines and views. They also uniquely offer hiking trails during their business hours.

Carter’s Mountain Orchard offers tasting rooms, apple picking, family activities, and various events throughout the year. I would advise to check out their website to check for ticket sales and availability as they have limited visitors due to COVID-19.
Must eats - Apple Cider Donuts and their Apple Pie are both the best of the best.

I love Putt Putt. This location is very inexpensive (and granted is a bit dated) but it’s a fun outdoor activity to do with family.
