Shenandoah Valley Driving & Winery Tour

Join us for a two-day excursion through the twisty roads of the beautiful Shenandoah Valley Blue Ridge Mountains of Northern Virginia where we will twisty roads and scenic wineries. Our weekend will be based in and around Front Royal, VA, and we will explore the scenery from Luray to Middleburg. On DAY ONE (Saturday 8/16), we will depart Front Royal in the morning following a planned route including Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park, and will stop at Mary’s Rock Summit and Stoney Man Overlook. Then we travel to Quievremont Vineyards and Arterra Wineries for tastings and a light lunch. A group dinner is planned for that evening (location TBD). On DAY TWO (Sunday 8/17), following breakfast, we'll take a short drive to historic Middleburg, VA, to browse the local shops and sights during the morning before the wineries open. Following visits to Greenhill and Slater Run wineries, we will have a late lunch in Upperville, VA where the tour ends. The cost is $15 per car Driver’s Fee.
