Day 2
Enjoy lunch at Swover Creek Farm – A Virginia Century Farm having been in owner Lynn St. Clair’s family for multiple generations and evolved from a traditional farm to a pick your own berry farm to a farm brewery. This is a more rural and rustic setting but draws a great crowd from Bryce Resort and other nearby vineyards and the pizzas are awesome. If weather permits and berries are in season, you can also pick your own black raspberries, blueberries, raspberries and gooseberries.
After lunch, relax and let Shenandoah Wine Tours drive, as you cruise the county touring some of the award-winning wineries in the valley:
For dinner, the Edinburg Mill Restaurant on the ground floor of the historic Edinburg Mill is set in the 1848 charm of its limestone walls and low beam ceilings. In a cozy and intimate atmosphere, the menu takes simple offerings and elevates them to extraordinary heights.
