Things To Do
Old Town
Cute walking mall in downtown Winchester with plenty of unique restaurants, shops (including my favorite store ever, HANDWORKS GALLERY! Check it out!!), a few small museums, and tons of gorgeous historic buildings.
CRUSH Wine Bar Ltd.
I worked here for a year, and it was the coolest, most fun job I've ever had, but it was definitely hard work! A lot of blood, sweat, and tears went into this place, and it'll always hold a special place in my heart. This is also where Brandon proposed to me!
Museum of the Shenandoah Valley
This Museum sits on land originally claimed by Winchester founder James Wood in 1735. The museum’s landscape is the largest green space in the City of Winchester (214 acres) and the Glen Burnie House and its surrounding seven-acre gardens remain an important part of this year-round regional history complex.
Shenandoah Valley Discovery Museum
Great place to take kids! Lots of interactive installments that are fun and educational.
Marker-Miller Orchards
Less than 10 minutes from the venue, this farm market and orchard is a favorite among locals, especially the Haughton family! Beautiful landscape and views, front porch rocking chairs, lots of cool areas for the kids to play, and my favorite-- Fresh apple cider slushies!!
Briede Family Vineyards
Wonderful people, beautiful vineyards, delicious wine.
Valerie Hill Vineyard & Winery
Another beautiful local vineyard and winery, also close to the venue.
James Charles Winery & Vineyard
Basically right next to the reception venue.
Virginia Farm Market LLC
A local favorite. Lots of childhood memories here. Kid-friendly!
Hedgebrook Farm Market
Sweet little pesticide-free farm with tons of ADORABLE farm animals, barn cats and kittens, peacocks... not to mention the raw milk, fresh eggs and produce, and many other local favorites.
Jim Barnett Park
Big park in the middle of town with a few playgrounds, trails, a pond or two... a nice place to take a walk or take the kids to play and have a picnic.
