Gather around the vintner’s table to learn about everything on your plate as well as the wine Pippin Hill pairs it with. They also operate a wine club so you can enjoy their wine wherever you go.

Wings and tacos coexist at Asado Taco so you’ll never have to choose between your favorite snacks. Asado Taco opened in 2018 after perfecting their take on both tacos and wings. Choose from seven unique dry rubs for your rings before chowing down on jumbo tacos piled high with toppings like pineapple and teriyaki shrimp, smoked brisket, or buffalo sauce-drenched cauliflower or chicken. 

Though their menu is packed with mouthwatering options, don’t let the food steal the show. Charlottesville locals rave about their specialty cocktails, extensive beer list, and their margarita with a Sour Patch rim.

You don’t have to travel to New York to sink your teeth into a world-class bagel. Bodo’s Bagels brings NYC’s boiled bagels to Virginia, satisfying Charlottesville’s taste for their carby creations. Though the bagels are their biggest claim to fame, their menu is actually quite extensive. 

Choose from ten types of bagels, several types of shmear, and more specialty toppings like lox and cream cheese or cinnamon sugar and butter. Keep it simple or upgrade to a salad or sandwich on, you guessed it, a bagel.
