Wife & I are coming up to Charlottesville for a weekend at the end of October; besides Monticello, what other activities would people suggest?

I lived in Charlottesville back in '81 & '82, and absolutely loved driving up Afton Mountain and catching the views, we'll probably do that and some on the BRP.

Probably some light touristy shopping is in the cards, maybe wineries? Make that PROBABLY wineries. ;-)

Thanks!

You can't come here and NOT do wineries. You could spend a week here and still not make it to all the wineries! I had a friend visiting last weekend and we hit up 7 wineries. I have yet to visit Monticello, though...

But be aware - it is all you can eat - the chicken and sides are great - but don't go there after a big breakfast!
