Our last stop at sunset was
Devils Backbone Brewing Company. We tried the samplers they offered, one with 4 beers and one with 6. Dan was daring and tried all 10! I'm big on the porters, stouts and brown ales so the fact that most of what they had available that day were lagers and other German style beers didn't excite me too much. The food however, was awesome! Great chili, apple salads, wings and more. It also reminded me of being back in Idaho, as the decor focused on hunting trophies and stone fireplaces. I'd say this place is worth the stop for the food, but if you want good beer in the area Blue Mountain Brewery has a tastier selection.
So in two days we were able to cover 5 wineries, 1 cider house and 1 brewery which was tied together with a stay at a cabin complete with a fire we (finally) managed to start in the fireplace. Overall a successful, relaxing trip to Charlottesville that left me wanting to visit again sooner rather than later.
