Blue Ridge Mountains Scenic Driving Tour & Wine Trail

August 16-17, 2025

Front Royal, VA

Join us for a two-day excursion through the twisty roads of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains where we will enjoy sights, wine tasting and a few meals together. 

On DAY ONE (Saturday 8/16), we will depart Front Royal in the morning following a planned route including Skyline Drive through Shenandoah National Park and will stop at Mary’s Rock Summit and Stoney Man Overlook.  Then we travel to Quievremont Vineyard and Arterra wineries for tastings and a light lunch.  A group dinner is planned for that evening.

On DAY TWO (Sunday 8/17), our tour continues from Marshall, VA.  Following breakfast, we drive to historic Middleburg, VA, to browse the local shops and sights during the morning before the wineries open.  Following visits to Greenhill and Slater Run wineries, we will have a late lunch in Upperville, VA where the tour ends.  

The cost is $15 per car Driver’s Fee.  Participants are responsible for the cost of their own lodging, meals, wine tastings, etc.  A reservation for the Saturday night dinner will be placed by the chapter.  A detailed itinerary, tour routes and addresses of the group meal locations and wineries will be provided to those registered for the event.  We will also establish a communication loop exclusive to participants.  You must be a BMWCCA member to attend.

Participants are strongly encouraged to reserve overnight accommodations as soon as possible while rooms remain available.  Driving begins by 9:30 a.m. on Day One, therefore you may wish to arrive in Front Royal on Friday, 8/15.  Recommended lodging includes:

• Doubletree by Hilton, Front Royal Blue Ridge Shadows, 111 Hospitality Drive, Front Royal, VA
• Hampton Inn Front Royal, 9800 Winchester Rd., Front Royal, VA 22630

Additionally, highly rated unique Bed & Breakfast options are also nearby, including The Ashby Inn or L’Auberge Provencal Inn & Restaurant.

Join us for all, or just part, of the festivities—this will be a weekend to remember!
