We guarantee rush hour in the Shenandoah Valley is
unlike anywhere else, intersecting breathtaking scenery
and outdoor recreation with diverse shopping, restaurants
and of course, fabulous vineyards. For a first-hand view
of how local geology has shaped both the land and the
iconic Seven Bends of the Shenandoah River, head to
Seven Bends State Park. More than 1,000 acres include
over four miles of river frontage, hiking and mountain
biking trails, plus meadows, forests and other natural
assets just waiting to be explored.
SARAH HAUSER
The SHENANDOAH VALLEY reveals stunning natural beauty with each changing season. With the Blue Ridge Mountains to the
east and Alleghenies to the west, its rich agricultural roots have created ample opportunity to reconnect with both the land and
the locals – at pick-your own farms, family-owned wineries and breweries, and authentic farm-to-table experiences. Straddling
Interstate 81 for approximately 140 miles, this region is the ideal getaway for friends and families seeking fresh-air fun, coupling
world-class outdoor assets and mountain-centric resorts.
EXPLORE
Shenandoah River State Park—Bentonville
TOUR
Adventurers need apply to explore the Fields of Gold
Farm Trail. Discover the homegrown side of Virginia,
where agriculture first got its roots. From pond to
patch and everything in between, local farmers share
their experiences and offer the trip of a lifetime
for lucky visitors. Get a taste of agri-tourism events
like cutting your own Christmas tree at Every Soul
Acres or picking your own blueberries at Hickory Hill
Farm. Take home stone-ground, preservative-free
flours, grits and cornmeal found at Virginia’s oldest,
continuously operating commercial grist mill, Wade’s
Mill, a registered Virginia Landmark also on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Stable Craft Brewing—Waynesboro
SIP
Taste some of the best craft beverages in the Shenandoah
Valley along the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail and
Shenandoah Spirits Trail. Choose from nearly 50 sites to
experience patio sunsets, family-friendly atmospheres
(welcoming kids and dogs) and tasty beverages to enjoy
with friends. Sample from 16 brews at Stable Craft
Brewing, located at Hermitage Hill Farm and Stables (a
real working farm you can tour), complete with incredible
views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Or, try Winchester
Ciderworks, a marriage of old world tradition with new
world know-how, featuring locally grown apples from the
Shenandoah Valley.
PLAY
The fun never stops for two great resorts in the area,
offering year-round entertainment for families of all
ages and sizes. At Bryce Resort, guests can go snow
or grass skiing; practice the bike trails with beginner,
intermediate and expert trails; play the 18-hole golf
course; horseback ride; play tennis; or boat, canoe
and paddle on a 45-acre lake. Thrill-seekers can
zoom through the skies on their 11 zipline platforms,
traversing the slopes and through the woods, too! At
Massanutten Resort, enjoy a round of golf, see if you
can get out of their escape room and splash around
the water park. Plus, head to the family adventure
park for activities like snow and summer tubing, quick
flight free falling and a Ridge Rappel & Climbing
Excursion.

Welcome to geology’s hall of fame.
Baseball has one. Rock and roll has one. And although it took millions of years, the earth has
one, too. And with well-lit, well-paved walkways stretching throughout, you can easily stroll
through rooms 10 stories high, marvel at the enormous columns and crystal-clear pools, and of
course, hear the world’s largest musical instrument, the Great Stalacpipe Organ.
It’s time to discover the most cavernous caverns on the East Coast. It’s time to discover Luray.
For a free brochure, call (540) 746-6551 or visit us online at LurayCaverns.com.
