The Dairy Market

About Us

Dairy Market is a dynamic market hall located in the historic Monticello Dairy Building in downtown Charlottesville. Bringing food, beverage, retail, entertainment, and event spaces together under one roof, Dairy Market serves as a vibrant community hub for residents and visitors alike.

Home to nine locally owned food vendors, the Market offers a diverse range of cuisines and flavors. Guests can enjoy craft cocktails at Milkman’s Bar, local brews at Starr Hill Brewery and entertainment at SunPins Duckpin Bowling. The space also features a yoga studio, unique retail shops, and flexible event spaces that host live music, artisan markets, nonprofit partnerships, and family-friendly programming year-round.

Dairy Market exists to bring together local food, retail, and culture in one welcoming space. By promoting small and diverse businesses, we foster meaningful connections between merchants, neighbors, and visitors while honoring the historic character of the Monticello Dairy building.

Whether stopping in for lunch, meeting friends for drinks, booking a private event, or exploring something new, Dairy Market reflects the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Charlottesville.
