Academic Activities in Charlottesville, VA

This tour will take us to two of Thomas Jefferson's most notable achievements. Starts with an hour-long historic guided tour of the University's Academical Village, Rotunda, and gardens by UVA staff. We then make our way to Monticello's visitor center, where you can grab a bite to eat at the Monticello Farm Table, which serves local, sustainable, farm-to-table food. You will then be shuttled up the mountain to Monticello, where you will enjoy the Highlights tour. This 45-minute guided tour by Monticello staff takes you through the first floor of Thomas Jefferson's residence, as well as the West Lawn and South Wing. This popular pass provides entry to the gardens, grounds, walking tours, family activities, and exhibits. If time allows, we'll stop at Jefferson Vineyards for a tasting before ending the tour.
