The vineyards around Charlottesville are spread across the countryside, so a little transportation planning goes a long way — and it keeps everyone together and safe. Here are your options for getting around wine country.
Book a Private Shuttle or Driver
The easiest, safest choice for a tasting day is a private shuttle or car service. Everyone rides together, no one has to be the designated driver, and you stay on schedule between stops. This is our top recommendation for the wine-country day.
Rideshare & Taxis
Rideshare works well around town and the Downtown Mall, but can be less reliable out at the more rural vineyards. If you go this route, plan for wait times and have a backup.
Timing Between Stops
Vineyards can be 20 to 40 minutes apart, so build in drive time and do not overpack the day. Two or three wineries with a lunch break is the sweet spot.
Safety First
Tastings add up quickly. Line up your ride before the day begins, keep water and snacks in the vehicle, and never leave it to chance at the last minute.
Sort transportation the moment you book the wineries — it is the detail groups forget until it is too late.
We can arrange curated winery transportation as part of your weekend, so all you have to do is hop in.
