Week in Charlottesville

Valentine's Date Ideas
Romantic outings are easily planned throughout the year in Charlottesville, but for this coming Valentine's Day, a visit here is a sure bet. Visit one of our local vineyards' special events, such as Valentine's Sunday Brunch at DuCard Vineyards or the Valentine's Winemaker's Dinner at DelFosse Vineyards and Winery. There are many quiet, romantic restaurants in the area if you want to go the traditional route. If you're looking for something creative, try one of these Downtown dates and surprise your beloved with a little whimsy. Or, plan a romantic weekend getaway at one of Charlottesville's beautiful historic inns.
Celebrate 250 Years in Charlottesville!
The year 2012 marks the 250th anniversary of Charlottesville’s founding, and the community is planning a grand celebration! There are few cities that can boast such historical significance, and in 2012, Charlottesville will proudly celebrate our heritage with the recognition of the city’s founding. This year-long celebration will include signature events like a history festival, music festival and celebration gala, and other celebrations that recognize Charlottesville's history, including a Community Martin Luther King Jr. Celebraton at UVA.
