MORNING/AFTERNOON
Spend your final day in the Winchester area experiencing spring in the Shenandoah Valley.
For an incredible brunch, head down to Regions 117 on the shore of Lake Frederick for an outstanding farm to fork menu. If you want to stay close, try the Chicken and Waffles at George’s Food and Spirits in the George Washington Hotel, or wander over to Village Square Restaurant in Old Town for their Champagne and Bloody Mary Brunch.
The Patsy Cline Historic House is a must-see while in town; Patsy (or “Ginny” as her friends and family called her) lived a challenging early life but her relationship with her single mother kept her strong. Learn her inspiring story and walk in her footsteps.
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.
