Day One:
Arrive in Historic Occoquan, a charming restored artist’s community with shops, outdoor dining, ghost tours, and more. Grab breakfast at the Grind N Crepe and stop into Mom’s Apple Pie for a sweet treat and bottle of wine for the road before heading out onto the river with Penguin Paddling for a kayaking tour.
Head over to Brew Republic Bierwerks for a cold beer or glass of wine and sit back and enjoy the various entertainment options and weekly events they host in the taproom, such as live music, trivia night, beer tastings and food pairings, and even beer education events. Effingham Manor Winery is the newest Vineyard in Prince William County. The main manor house dates back to 1767 and serves up delicious wines with a side of history too. Before turning in for the night, stop by 2 Silos Brewing/Farm Brew Live and grab one of their wood fire pizzas or a fresh salad to cap off the evening. Featuring live music, craft brews, and a full bar this the perfect way to wind down the day.
Check into the Inn at Evergreen in Haymarket, VA for the night to enjoy a quiet restful evening at the foothills of the Bull Run Mountains.

Grab a hearty breakfast around the corner at the Hidden Julles Café where you will find local, organic, and natural breakfast options sourced almost exclusively from area growers. Plan a hike, bike, or horseback ride at Manassas National Battlefield Park, where the first and second battles of Bull Run were fought, marking the start of the American Civil War. Seek out refreshments and lunch at Out of the Blue Crabs & Seafood in Gainesville, VA. This unique eatery is a modern-day seafood restaurant featuring fresh seafood, alongside blue crabs. Don’t forget to ask them about their custom cocktail list! The last stop of this boozy bonanza is at MurLarkey Distilled Spirits in Bristow, VA.
