Route 29 is a ribbon of highway that travels up the center of Nelson County. The county is conveniently located between Lynchburg and Charlottesville, so every year thousands of people pass through Nelson to rest. Luckily, there are plenty of things for visitors to do along Route 29 in Nelson. The county’s newest craft beverage trail, Nelson 29 stretches 20 miles between Blue Mountain Barrel House in Arrington and DelFosse Vineyards and Winery in Faber. Enjoy the scenic drive through Nelson County and stop to play, eat, or take in some gorgeous country views any season of the year. 

Winter! When a person’s fancy turns to holiday shopping and family traditions! Winter is a great time to enjoy all of the coziness that Nelson has to offer. If you need to pick up a book for the rest of your ride, stop at the Blue Moon Antique Mall, which houses thousands of used and new books. Rapunzel’s, another bookstore along Route 29, steps up the coziness factor with their coffeehouse vibe. If you’re lucky, you’ll end up stopping by on Open Mic Night! Cozy gifts abound at Olde Southern Charm, whose owner strives to help you channel your inner Southern Living! If you find your tummy grumbling during your trip through Nelson, stop and warm up at Ann’s Family Restaurant with homestyle southern cooking. If you’d rather spice things up a bit, grab a meal from El Mariachi, which offers hundreds of authentic Mexican food dishes. The restaurant has a gift shop on-site. If you're too sad to leave Nelson after just one day, check in to the Orchard House Bed & Breakfast or Harmony Hill Bed & Breakfast.
