Guys may want to check out the Stag Luncheon, the festival’s premier “Man” event at Winchester Cold Storage, that takes place today.

If you’re staying at The Cove, enjoy dinner over your own campfire, or for a no-frills local experience, head over to the nearby Hayfield Family Restaurant for a country dinner. If you’re at Herd’s Inn, check out IJ Canns, The Butcher Station, or Thai Lotus in Creekside Station. Fans of 80s music will want to attend tonight’s 80’s Dance Party, headlined by The Reagan Years, playing all the hits of the 80s, with special guest DJ UnieQ.

MORNING/AFTERNOON
Nothing compares to seeing the beautiful countryside on horseback. We have several different trail riding opportunities for riders of all skill levels. Check out Bailey’s Walking After Midnight Farm, Magic Mountain Farm, or Rocking S Ranch. Another option is a guided bicycle tour (rental bicycles available) by Element Sports.
Before departing for home, consider ending your visit with a local tradition at Apple Blossom time - a leisurely country drive among the apple orchards. (Your route could include: Cedar Creek Grade, Marlboro Road, Middle Road, and Barley Lane). View the rows and rows of pink and white blossoms set among the backdrop of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in the distance.
