Seasons for Every Enthusiast

The Northern Shenandoah Valley offers four distinct seasons, each bringing its own beauty without the extremes. Winters are crisp but comfortable, with average lows in the 20s and about 22 inches of snow annually. Summers are warm and sunny, with average highs reaching the upper 80s, ideal for outdoor adventures and evenings spent enjoying the open air.

The region is also one of the driest in Virginia, making it a favorite for vineyard owners and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Lower precipitation rates create perfect conditions for growing grapes, producing outstanding wines, and spending more days outside exploring, hiking, kayaking, or simply soaking up the sun.

From colorful autumn landscapes to vibrant springs, snowy winter mornings to long, golden summer afternoons, the Northern Shenandoah Valley offers a year-round invitation to enjoy the outdoors.
