Nestled in the heart of Virginia's scenic Blue Ridge Mountains, Brewing Tree Brewery is a charming brewery that is a must-visit for anyone with a passion for craft beer and a love for picturesque landscapes.

One of Brewing Tree Brewery's standout features is its diverse and innovative beer menu. Whether you're a fan of hoppy IPAs, smooth stouts, or crisp lagers, there's something to delight every palate. 

Beyond the exceptional beers, Brewing Tree Brewery offers an inviting, relaxed atmosphere that beckons visitors to stay a while. The brewery features a spacious outdoor seating area, perfect for soaking in the stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Inside, the taproom exudes a rustic charm with its wooden furnishings and warm, welcoming ambiance. The staff at Brewing Tree are known for their friendly and knowledgeable service, always ready to guide you through their beer selection and help you find your new favorite brew.

More than just a brewery, Brewing Tree is a vibrant community hub that hosts various events throughout the year, from live music performances to seasonal celebrations. The meadow behind the taproom is perfect for holiday light displays and "apple chucking" in the fall. 

But Brewing Tree Brewery is not just about the beer. Scratch Kitchen, the on-site food truck, is one of our favorite spots to grab a bite. The menu changes daily, highlighting fresh ingredients that are transformed into innovative dishes. Recent offerings include squash blossoms stuffed with homemade ricotta, french fries with dill seasoning (not to be missed!), and a summer plum salad. Brewing Tree Brewery is a destination for both beer enthusiasts and food lovers seeking a memorable experience in the heart of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains.

Cheers! 🍻

In the Wintergreen area, there are many spots to grab a quick bite on the go or to enjoy an evening out. Here are a few we enjoy! ​

On vacation and don’t want to cook? Wintergreen has some great options for on-mountain dining! 

• The Edge is the perfect spot to grab a burger and beverage, and often hosts live musicians evening and weekend.  
• Pick up a pie from  Upper Crust Pizza , located at the Mountain Inn.  Eat there or bring your pie home to enjoy by the fire!
• Looking for a bite to eat while on the slopes, check out Checkerberry Cabin. 
• For a more upscale dining experience, The Copper Mine is open Friday through Sunday, offering a breakfast and lunch buffet, and a la carte dinner. 
• The Market  has deli sandwiche s and pizza to go.  The Market is located by the Exxon near the Mountain Inn. 

A new addition to the mountain is Fire and Frost, located at the intersection of Blue Ridge Drive and Wintergreen Drive. Pizza and baked breakfast treats... YES PLEASE! ​

• After your visit at Monticello, head up the road about 15 more minutes to pick fruit atCarter Mountain Orchard. In the summer months, pick your own peaches. In the fall, don’t miss out on the apple cider donuts!  
• Interested in a wine visit on your trip to Charlottesville? Our favorite stop is Blenheim Vineyards, which is right up the road (about 20 minutes) from Carter Mountain Orchard. Lovely views, delicious wine, and beautiful grounds.

​Route 151 in Nelson County has become a destination for award winning breweries, wineries, cideries and distilleries. We wanted to share a little about our favorite breweries! Make sure to check calendars for each of these spots as you plan your visits. Many offer live music, "steal the glass" nights and other specials. 

​Devils Backbone is a great beer option, and a very popular spot! During the winter months, you can reserve fire pits to huddle around, and the summer months bring live music and festivals. DB is pet and family friendly, and you can often find games like cornhole sprawled out around the property! 

From 151, the parking lot at The Brewing Tree might look busy.  What you can't see from the road is the large meadow space behind the brewery that runs along the North Fork River. Enjoy beer, cider, hard slushies (yes... you read that right!) and plenty of non-alcoholic beverages. They also make their own kombucha from locally sourced ingredients.  The food options at the Scratch Kitchen come highly recommended! 

There are lots of beer options in the area - these are just a few of our favorites along 151. Look for more posts about breweries, wineries, cideries and distilleries coming soon! ​

​There is good reason why Wintergreen Resort is so popular during the winter months! 

• ​Skiing and snowboarding, of course! Wintergreen has some of the best snowmaking equipment on the East Coast, and they use it to make lots of snow on all 26 slopes/trails! Wintergreen offers terrain for first time skiers and riders to seasoned snow sport experts.
• The very popular tubing hill is the longest in Virginia. Reserve Your tickets early - they go fast!
• After a day of skiing, snowboarding and tubing, pamper yourself at the Wintergreen Spa with a massage, facial or mani/pedi. 
• Don’t miss après ski at The Edge! Located slope side, The Edge is the perfect spot to grab a burger and beverage, and often hosts live musicians evening and weekend.
