Since 2015, our mission has been to provide the community of Charlottesville and visiting guests with fun and memorable experiences that support local area businesses.

Included in every tour, participants can enjoy complimentary snacks and cold water, as well as onboard wifi, charging stations, video and music entertainment. Our offerings currently include Beer, Wine, CIder, and Spirit Tours, Beer and Wine Tours, Beer Exclusive Tours, and Wine Exclusive Tours. Starting at at only $39 per person, we are the best value tour in Charlottesville!

MEET THE FOUNDERS

Cville Hop on Tours was initiated by the friendship of us, Co-Owners, Jon Craig and André Xavier. We are no strangers to the world of hospitality and have a combined experience stretching over 28 years in luxury resorts, hotels, and cruise liners. Our goal is to create a unique platform for community interaction, where local community businesses are encouraged to engage and promote prosperity. By partnering with our destinations to accommodate their needs for successful operation, we’ll benefit more than just our own interests, we’ll improve the entire system relationship model.

MEET OUR TEAM

Cville Hop on Tours has flourished and thrived because of our team of awesome drivers, led by Sharon Baker-Evans. They are no strangers to the greater Charlottesville area and join us from a variety of full time professions in the academic, medical, food, sales, and craft beverage industries. With their help, we’re able to provide our participants with a unique and memorable experience.

So great to work with!– I had a WONDERFUL experience with Cville Hop on Tours. We were traveling down to Charlottesville for my sister’s bachelorette party as she is a beer aficionado. I wanted to book a private tour for the day and Cville Hop on Tours was a great option! I worked with Andre who was very knowledgeable and created a custom tour just for us. He was even able to create a custom link for everyone to pay for their own tour, instead of me having to pay for the entire thing up front and collect money from everyone. The day of went better than I could’ve imagined! Our bus driver Steve was amazing and a big part of why we had so much fun. If I’m ever back in Charlottesville, I will definitely book with these guys again. I highly recommend them!

Perfect weekend getaway– I came down for a weekend getaway from DC and stumbled onto the perfect activity. It was the convenience I was looking for with all of the fun attached. We got to try a little bit of everything that the area had to offer in regards to breweries and vineyards. Most importantly I didn’t have to worry about how to get from one location to the next! The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible and convenient. I can’t wait till I come back for another tour!!!

Owen, Washington, D.C.
Beer for days….Boom– I can’t rave enough how awesome my experience was on this tour. We went with a group of friends that ranged from beer snob to beer novice and everyone found this experience quite enjoyable. From drinking good beer to seeing the inner workings of breweries, there is something for everyone. Our driver Jon happened to be one of the co-owners of this adventure and made it a fantastic time. I would definitely be looking to this trip again when friends come to town in the future. Everyone should definitely hop on this when they get the chance, no pun intended.

Cville Hop on Tours– This was a really fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon. As someone that lives in Cville it was very cool to learn about some of my favorite breweries and beers with the tours all the while getting to try all of the beers too! I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It was such a hassle free, fun activity.
