This half-day trip starts in Vesuvius, VA (tip: start with Breakfast at Gertie’s) then stops at the Wintergreen Resort, then onto a number of potential stops along the way – in and around Nellysville (Devil’s Backbone Basecamp, Nellysville / Bold Rock Nellysford Cidery and many other Cidery, Winery, and Distillery options along the way), then navigate to the City of Staunton, then take route 252 back to Brownsburg).
Along this route you’ll experience a mix of Blue Ridge Parkway, a high-end resort, a number of Vineyards, Cideries, Distilleries, Breweries, historic general stores and eateries, several historic downtowns with nice shopping opportunities, and a peaceful final leg of the trip on 252 back to Brownsburg. The drive itself is 2-hours, 13 minutes however, with stops its more likely a peaceful 4-5 hours. Take the trip in a car or with a group of friends on motorcycles! It’ll be a trip to remember – one of our favorites!
