Things To Do And See in Charlottesville
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 3:52am on Tuesday, Nov 16th, 2010Charlottesville Week is upon us! For some of you, it's another trip to the place where the Dave Matthews Band got started. For others, this will be your first journey into the Mecca that is C'ville. You already know about the Official DMB Pre-and Post-Parties, but we wanted to mention a few other places for you to check out!
One of those places is Blenheim Vineyards. The Dave Matthews-Co-Owned winery is all set to accommodate what should be fairly large crowds. They've set up their tasting bar in the cellar, and are debuting two new wines; Painted Red and Painted White. Dave himself designed the labels for the new wines, as he did for the Painted Red 2008 (more on that later). Blenheim is open for tastings from 11 am to 5 pm. The Warehouse members also receive a special discount on the tastings (check your emails from The Warehouse for the double-secret word). That special secret word also gets you a discount at Starr Hill Brewery, home of some awesome beer (you have to try the Northern Lights IPA if you have not, it's that good!). Starr Hill Brewery is open Noon to 6 pm on Friday, and noon to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday. If you can't make it out to Crozet to Starr Hill, you can visit Brixx Pizza only a mile from JPJ. On Saturday, they'll have buy one get one free pizza's and $2.50 Starr Hill drafts.
So now that you know about all the cool stuff, it's time you figure out where everything else is. You know you want to have your picture taken in front of an empty lot and tell everyone, "Trax used to be there!". Use this map as your guide to find all the famous DMB-related places in C'ville! There's also mentions of other hot spots listed on that page so you can find something to eat or drink while there, so try and check out all the spots while you're there!
