Spectacular September Getaways

The kids are back in school. The days are still warm, but the nip in the evening air lets you know fall is coming. But there’s still a little bit of summer to savor. Luckily there’s a hideaway tucked away in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains that offers the best ways to play outside. Whether you want to play golf or tennis, hike, take in the local culture, or simply relax, here’s what you need to know to plan the ultimate September escape at Wintergreen Resort.

Things to Do:

Hike! Wintergreen has 30 miles of hiking trails covering an assortment of terrain from rugged and steep to short and easy, and all are beautiful. Stop by The Nature Foundation and let the experts help you find the perfect trail.

Hit the golf courses! With two courses – one at the top of the Blue Ridge and one at the bottom with the mountains as the backdrop – you’ll have a hard time keeping your eye on the ball.

Top of the World Tennis! There’s nothing like playing mountaintop tennis. No wonder Wintergreen was ranked the #1 Tennis Academy in the U.S. The cool, crisp air doesn’t hurt, either!

Dine! With four restaurants, you’ll find plenty of variety to suit your mood and your palate. From fine dining and farm to table specialties to casual and family friendly, leave the cooking to us and take a food-cation.

Drive! The Blue Ridge Parkway boarders Wintergreen and offers miles of Blue Ridge beauty. No matter where you look, there’s a view around every corner.

Explore! Further afield, spend a day touring the 21 orchards, wineries, cideries, and award-winning breweries around Nelson County, Virginia. Actually, take two days and make one a winery tour and the next a brewery/cidery tour. Just be sure to take a sampling of Nelson County home with you.

History! Use Wintergreen as your home base and visit four presidential homes. Or explore the Civil War Trails. History is right in our backyard.

Harvest! All the local orchards and farms are reaping the rewards of hard summer labor. From apples and pumpkins to Asian pears and the last of summer peaches, Nelson County is known for their produce.

Spend the Night! Come for a weekend or stay the whole week. Wintergreen offers lodging that is just right for you, from studio rooms with kitchenette, to 1-5 bedroom condos, to spacious homes with 3-9 bedrooms.

A Unique Bonus! You’ll enjoy full resort access and exclusive Wintergreen amenities ONLY when you book your visit through Wintergreen Resort.

A World Away! It only takes a short drive to discover a world away, where the pace is peaceful and where Southern hospitality abounds. It’s a place you’ll want to come back to again and again. Explore our packages and special offers, you’re sure to find the best fit for your September getaway.
