It's one of Charlottesville's top family destinations: the top of Carter Mountain which holds an annual apple festival. There, visitors can take in panoramic views and sample fresh apples and the famous apple donuts which–- we discovered–- start with "Karp's" dough from CSM Bakery Products. Missed the festival? It happens again the following Saturday and Sunday, October 9 and 10.
