When you're ready to jump in the car for your next road trip getaway, we invite you to spend some time with us here in Northern Virginia. Discover history around every corner. Visit natural wonders and take a deep breath of fresh air. Find your new favorite drink at our wineries and breweries. Entertain yourself with countless outdoor activities that will inspire you to stay a while, or come back for more. All this, with the upscale amenities of the National Capital Region never far away.

Why not include some history with the great outdoors? George Washington's Mount Vernon, George Mason's Gunston Hall and more not only help tell the story of America, but they also afford you the opportunity to wander about safely distanced from your fellow history enthusiasts.

For those looking to move a little bit, stretch your legs, and get outside for some exercise, Fairfax County has hundreds of miles of options for hiking enthusiasts. The Potomac Heritage Trail and Cross County Trail are two favorites of locals.

Looking for parks? We're fortunate here in Fairfax County to be able to offer residents and visitors the opportunity access tranquil sanctuaries while never straying far from all the amenities the Capital Region has to offer. Great Falls Park and Mason Neck State Park are two great examples of ways to explore the great outdoors.

Birding is the next big thing in hobbies. It’s social-distancing friendly. And once you start, it’s really hard to stop. Best of all, we're lucky enough to have some of the best birding spots in Northern Virginia. Huntley Meadows Park and Pohick Bay Regional Park showcase everything from Eagles to Egrets.

Sometimes you also have to stop and smell the flowers. Lucky for you we have three of the most desirable gardens in the entire Capital Region. Meadowlark Botanical Gardens, Green Spring Gardens, and the American Horticultural Society's River Farm are three of the best gardens in the entire National Capital Region.

From paved paths to extreme downhill mountain biking, if you're looking for two-wheeled adventure in Northern Virginia you've come to the right place.  The trails at Fountainhead Regional Park are some of the area's best.

We also have plenty of space to spread out at our wineries and safely distanced beer patios.  You're invited to visit them all and find your new favorite drink while you're here.
