Home » Virginia » Virginia Vacations A Week-Long Itinerary » Virginia Winery VisitsBeautiful Charlottesville has the highest concentration of wineries throughout Virginia along with fine restaurants and delightful places to stay. This is why it is so popular for adults – especially couples – who are looking to vacation for a week or more and want to tour the various wineries.
