Charlottesville, Virginia

The Pigeon Hole.
We went here for lunch, and we loved it.  The restaurant looks like it was once a house.  It has outdoor seating on the lawn and the porch and indoor seating on the first floor.  It is located in the 'Corner' district, thus it is mostly filled with college students.
The menu isn't extensive, but every dish we saw looked well made and individually prepared with care.  We tried the egg and cheese sandwich, hash browns, scrambled eggs, grits, pancakes, and huevos rancheros.
The restaurant has a very young, hipster, fresh vibe, yet it still felt very wholesome.

The Whiskey Jar.
We went here for a good drink, and we found it.  They also had live music with indoor and outdoor seating. 
This is in the downtown area at one end of the walking mall.
If you find the music to be too loud or the bar too crowded, there are a bunch of other bars in the area.

Blenheim Vineyards.
If sitting in a college-town or in a lively bar isn't your thing, Charlottesville offers this winery (established by Dave Matthews).  This charming little winery is serene and beautiful.  The caretakers are kind and warm.  The food is natural and wholesome. The wine (I'm not an enthusiast) is unpretentious and delicious.
