Wintergreen offers something for everyone, from nature enthusiasts to music lovers. Each summer, the Wintergreen Music Festival brings together top musicians, young talents, and eager audiences to celebrate classical and chamber music in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
The festival takes place in various Wintergreen Mountain venues and the surrounding valley, including wineries, breweries, and other locations, providing a unique cultural experience amidst the stunning landscape. Featuring symphony orchestras, chamber ensembles, and solo recitals, the festival presents a diverse range of performances that cover the classical repertoire. Additionally, attendees can join Coffee Talks with musicians and conductors or attend intimate in-home concerts around the mountain. Emphasizing the importance of nurturing the next generation of chamber musicians, the festival introduced the LEAD Cooperative, a program designed for young musicians to learn from and perform alongside seasoned professionals. The program offers mentorship, masterclasses, and chamber music coaching. Beyond the concert hall, the festival engages with the local community by organizing free community concerts, open rehearsals, and educational programs for all ages, fostering a sense of togetherness and sharing the power of music with everyone. Tickets for this year's festival, taking place throughout July, are now available for purchase.

 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. Devil's BackboneDevils 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! Blue Mountain BreweryBlue Mountain Brewery is at the top of our list! While the Hopwork Orange and Classic Lager are our go-to's, it's always fun to check out their seasonal beers. (Have you ever tried a Key Lime Sour or Peach Gose?) If beer isn't your thing, you can find some great local wines, ciders and kombucha on their menu as well. Their food is great too! The pizzas are generously sized, the Cuban press is delicious and they offer some solid vegetarian options for the non-meat eaters. The brewery is family and pet friendly, and they often offer live music and other special events. The Brewing TreeFrom 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! Hiking is popular in the Wintergreen area, and so we wanted to share a few of our favorites, close to Wintergreen and Marley's Cabin!
