Meet Cameron, the Clifton’s Very Own Pastry Chef

‘Tis the Season for a Good Hike
‘Tis the season for a good hike (well, in C’ville hiking is year-round but this is my favorite time!).
Mount Ida Tasting Room & Taphouse Is a Delight
I’m just back from a weekend in southern Vermont where the adorable small towns are nestled in the green mountains with charm in every direction. I’m from New England originally, so being there just filled my heart. However, it’s never sad for me to leave a place to come home to Charlottesville!
Woodbrook Farm and Vineyard
Well, winter is here! As the air starts to chill, it’s time to turn things indoors. I had the pleasure of visiting a new vineyard just outside of the charming town of Orange just north of us near historic James Madison’s Montpelier.
Carter Mountain Orchard and Orzo Kitchen & Wine Bar
Fall is in full swing and visiting Carter Mountain Orchard and Vineyard is about as nostalgic as it gets.
Best Golf in Charlottesville
While the summer season is beginning to wind down, the best weather for playing golf is fast approaching.
Spring Has Sprung
Spring has sprung here in Charlottesville, and it’s gorgeous! Hundreds of peonies are beginning to blossom here on our property, along with the dozens of other flowers and trees that make Clifton so magical this time of year. There is so much to do in-and-around here on beautiful days like this one.
