NCC Fall Tour 2014

NCC FALL TOUR 2014 - A Decade of Fall Tours 

November 1-2, 2014

This year's Fall Tour on Nov 1-2 takes us back a decade to your current Tourmeister's first event. We'll be driving toward Charlottesville, lunching at Michie Tavern, visiting Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, and overnighting at Wintergreen. Several options are under consideration for Sunday.

Wintergreen is a terrific resort with much to offer including golf and horseback riding (if it stays light enough), tennis, swimming, a spa, hiking trails, and many other activities. Indoor pool, hot tubs, steam rooms, saunas, and workout rooms are included at no charge. Some activities (spa treatments, golf, etc.) may have additional charges.

We’ll have an outdoor reception (weather permitting) overlooking the valley followed by dinner in the resort. After dinner, there are several night spots that will be available including a night club with live music or, for those seeking a quieter evening, several nice bars and fireside lounges.

There are 20 rooms reserved for us at the special rate of $139 (plus resort fee and tax of approximately $20 total). Note – this is the same rate we paid on the first Wintergreen tour 10 years ago! Make your reservations by calling 1.855.923.7223.

Sunday morning, there will be several options including hanging out at the resort, driving the Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline Drive, touring the University of Virginia grounds, and other possibilities.

The total cost for lunch, reception, dinner, and Monticello tour will be $115. Hotel reservations are on your own, made and paid for individually. Please note that there is not much else nearby to Wintergreen so if you do not book early enough, the alternative will be to stay in Charlottesville, about 45 minutes away.
