Shenandoah’s 9th Annual Fall Foliage Tour

Shenandoah Valley

About this event

Shenandoah’s 9th Annual Fall Foliage Tour

PCA – Shenandoah

Saturday, October 25, 2014
Augusta, Nelson, and Rockbridge counties, VA

Once a year the Blue Ridge Mountains go through a transformation from the beautiful blues and greens of summer to the greys and browns of winter. In between we get to enjoy the colors hidden in the leaves as we drive our Porsches on roads with scenic views of our beloved Virginia. 

The Shenandoah Region PCA invites you to join us on Saturday, October 25 for a beautiful autumn drive through the Blue Ridge Mountains on twisty scenic roads. We’ll start in Waynesboro, VA and travel south along the western base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, twisting and turning our way to the Wintergreen Resort (http://www.wintergreenresort.com/) for lunch. Then slalom down the east slope of the Blue Ridge, down Rockfish valley, and back over the Blue Ridge to Rockbridge Vineyard (http://www.rockbridgevineyard.com) in the Shenandoah Valley.

 Our Fall Foliage Tour will be held rain or shine. 
Severe weather will cancel.
 (See Cancellation Policy next page.)
