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. 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. If it’s too hard to leave, you can stay at one of Nelson’s impeccably-decorated bed and breakfasts, such as The Orchard House Bed & Breakfast or Harmony Hill Bed & Breakfast.

Fall is one of the most popular times for people to visit Nelson County. The azure sky contrasts against the brightly-leafed mountains. Stop at Virginia Distillery Company and take a picture with their LoveWork, which can be found right off Route 29 & features their logo and wine-making materials. Have a delicious entrée at Lovingston Café, located in the small town of Lovingston. Wood Ridge Farm Brewery offers eats as well, in a rustic locale bursting with inventive activities for patrons.

Of course, what is autumn without crisp, fresh apples? The Apple Shed in Lovingston sells apples, fruit, jams, and cider- when it isn’t being used as an impromptu wedding chapel. Another great place for orchard and garden fare is Drumheller’s Orchard, located off Route 29 near the local high school. Drumheller’s hosts great events every fall, and offers baked goods, honey, apple butter, hams, flowers, and of course- orchard fruits and fresh vegetables.
