Cavallo's Guide to Living, Shopping & Exploring Local in and around Gordonsville VA ~
~ a few of our favorites.
Most of my clients feel transported to the charm of a different (and much more relaxed) time when they first discover bucolic Gordonsville. It's what brought me here nearly 5 years ago when I was looking for a slightly slower pace and a more tightly knit artistic community.
Main Street, Gordonsville is a lovingly restored work of art, decorated with architectural details from around the world: Make it a day, a weekend or longer: there is so much to explore!
Historic Gordonsville is home to many truly unique, small independent businesses, founded by both locals and folks from around the globe. Artful galleries, one-of-a-kind eateries, antiques galore, first-class vineyards and outdoor venues, as well as important historic sites, all set in the beautiful Foothills of the Piedmont: you will fall in love with the value and memory of each and every single one! These are just a few of my favorites for your next road trip to Gordonsville ~ cheers!
