Agritourism

Experience the Valley’s Agricultural Roots Up Close

Agriculture has shaped the Northern Shenandoah Valley for generations, and today, you can experience the richness of that legacy through a vibrant and growing agritourism scene. From farm markets and orchards to vineyards and pick-your-own adventures, the region offers countless ways to connect with the land, the people who cultivate it, and the food it produces.

Spend a day exploring local farms and roadside stands, where you can taste the freshness of just-picked apples, berries, sweet corn, and seasonal vegetables. Visit working farms that welcome guests for hands-on experiences like hayrides, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes, making it easy to plan a family outing or fall weekend tradition.

Wine lovers can sip and savor at award-winning vineyards with scenic views and tasting rooms that highlight the region’s unique terroir. For something a little different, enjoy craft cideries, breweries, and distilleries that are rooted in agricultural innovation and offer tastings in beautiful rural settings.

Throughout the year, the Valley also hosts farm-to-table dinners, harvest festivals, and agricultural fairs that showcase the best of local food and farming culture. These events celebrate the connection between community and land, offering visitors an authentic taste of rural Virginia.

Whether you’re sampling fresh produce, meeting local growers, or simply enjoying the view from a country porch, agritourism in the Northern Shenandoah Valley brings you closer to the source and invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
