Top Shelf Transportation was founded by Roberta Dawn Holliday April 6, 2015.
Dawn grew up in Powhatan, Virginia and enjoyed many childhood summers visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains. She spent the first part of her adult life as a stay-at-home mom and home schooling mother of five—an experience she still holds dear to her heart first and foremost. Dawn’s personality has always been well suited for customer service and hospitality. Prior to her founding of Top Shelf Transportation, Dawn enjoyed a career in various management positions.
As with any idea, the initial inspiration for Top Shelf Transportation was followed by a great deal of perspiration, dedication, and plain hard work. Dawn moved full-time to Charlottesville in 2015 to focus her undivided attention on the development and growth of Top Shelf Transportation.
Our goals have been achieved, as we offer Charlottesville, Virginia and our region’s visitors something exceptional, something beyond just a wine or beer excursion. Each tour is a memorable experience, enhanced by our fleet of luxury vehicles and our #TopShelf car, “The Bentley.”
