Hello, members. For those who are interested in the trip to Charlottesville to visit Monticello and the local wineries, I have put together a list of B&B's, wineries to visit and optional itinerary. One factor to keep in mind, if you are interested in staying in a B&B in close proximity, the average cost per night for a room is around $200-$250, more or less, depending on how extravagant your taste and wallet. Also, consider that this is Harvest Season and the room availability is limited. Of course, there is always the option of a hotel room for around $100/night. See below for B&B locations that are nearby and contact information for each so you may explore individually.
Keep in mind that I am only providing wineries and B&B's and the weekend days as an option so please keep this information as a format to build on as a group. Our dates, as agreed in last night's meeting (Tuesday, September 19) would be the weekend of Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4 and/or Sunday, November 5.
1) To visit Monticello for the tour the weekend of Nov 3-5:
Monticello is open every day of the year, including Sundays, except Christmas.
Gates open: 8:30 am to 5 pm.
