MORNING/AFTERNOON
Spend your final day in the Winchester area experiencing spring in the Shenandoah Valley.
The Museum of the Shenandoah Valley, open 10am-5pm, tells the stories of the region’s artists, craftspeople, and communities. It sits on the largest area of green space in the City of Winchester, and features 7 acres of formal gardens in spring bloom. Tour the museum and gardens before or after your Richard’s Fruit Market Cider Tasting and Orchard Tour. Richard’s Fruit Market will host half-hour walking tours of the apple orchards at 11am, 12noon, 1pm, and 2pm. Guides will dispense a wealth of practical information on the planting and growing of fruit trees. If you’re really lucky, the trees will be in bloom! Following the tour, participants will return to the Ciderworks for sampling and tasting of their hard cider.
Before departing for home, consider ending your visit with a local tradition at Apple Blossom time - a leisurely country drive among the apple orchards. View the rows and rows of pink and white blossoms set among the backdrop of the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains in the distance.
