Virginia is for adventure lovers.
The Nelson County Blog
Two trails. One county. 250 years of history worth raising a glass to. 🍺🏔️
Nelson County’s Founding Foragers VA250 passport trail invites you to taste where American liberty took root — right here in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Visit our farms, orchards, wineries, cideries, and breweries, collect your stamps, and experience the landscape that fueled American independence.
And while you’re here? Don’t miss Liberty Hollow Ale — a Nelson County collab brew brought to life by five of our own breweries across the Nelson 151 and Nelson 29 trails: Blue Mountain Brewery, Blue Mountain Barrel House, WildManDan, Three Notch’d, and Outback Brew House. 6.5% ABV. 27 IBUs. 100% Nelson County. 🇺🇸

First stop on the Virginia distillery tour: checking out the American single malts at @vadistillery. Two really intriguing things in the still house, apart from the pair of huge copper pot stills: an original Boby Malt Mill from the 1920s and a copper and glass spirits safe, as originally mandated by the Scottish Excise Act of 1823.

I didn’t expect to find a hiking + yoga retreat like this in Virginia 🥾🧘🏻♀️✨🍷🍇⛰️
Last year we spent 4 days at @thefarmhouseatveritas, a vineyard stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains right off the Parkway (about 3 hours from DC). The retreat includes guided hikes, daily yoga, really good meals, wine hour each day, and time to just slow down and enjoy being outside with a small group.
It honestly felt like the kind of experience I usually travel farther for.
It would be such a fun trip to do with friends, a mom-and-daughter getaway, or even with your partner.
Swipe through for a peek at what the retreat looked like.
✨ Curious about the retreat? Comment Veritas and I’ll send you the full breakdown and details.

@lovingstonwinery 🌸 We are one week away from our first wedding of the 2026 season. Each year brings unique beauty, new ideas, and incredible love stories. We are so excited to watch them unfold.
As a family owned and operated business, we put our heart and soul into each wedding. Looking back on videos, it’s so rewarding to see the property that we love so much serving as the foundation for families to join together as one!
If you are beginning your wedding planning journey, what is something you are looking for in a venue?
FYI @blueridgetunnel will be closed for routine maintenance April 7-8 🥳
