***Our first stop is the beautiful F.T VALLEY FARM for our Apple Picking Adventure ****

Located 80 miles west of our Nation’s Capital, family-owned F. T. Valley Farm is the perfect destination if you’re looking for fresh country air and local charm. From the town of Sperryville, you’ll head six miles south along Route 231, passing rolling hills and grazing horses with miles and miles of Blue Ridge Mountains as the backdrop. Aptly christened one of Virginia’s Scenic Byways, F.T. Valley Road (Rt. 231) will take your breath away with its views.

Our journey takes us to the enchanting Southwest Mountains Vineyards, where an exclusive wines-and-bites pairing awaits.

Set against the rolling Virginia foothills of the Southwest Mountain Range in Keswick, this hidden gem invites you to indulge in both breathtaking views and world-class winemaking. Under the artistry of acclaimed winemaker Boela Gerber, each vintage is crafted with reverence for the land and a devotion to uncompromising quality. With decades of global experience shaping his craft, Boela blends elegance with innovation, redefining what Virginia wine can be.

At Southwest Mountains Vineyards, every sip tells a story of passion, place, and perfection—an experience designed to linger long after the last glass is poured.

Info: The bus will depart promptly at 8:30 AM. Please be on time, as there are no refunds for late arrivals.

Info: Get ready for a fun day at the farm! We’ll have two hours to enjoy apple-picking and lunch . Bring your favorite bottle of wine ?—the farm allows outside wine! ?️ Any goodies you buy are yours to carry home. The bus rolls out at 12:10 PM sharp, so don’t miss it!

Info: We’ll arrive at the vineyard and kick things off with a guided tasting and small-bites pairing in the private tasting room . Afterward, we’ll head into the main tasting room to enjoy more wines and delicious foods (purchased separately) . Cheers to a great time!
