When the sun goes down the music begins and the cocktails shake things up. Sip from a rooftop, in a courtyard, in an easy chair, or at the bar. Imbibe with tinkling piano keys keeping time, 1,000 bottles of beer on the wall, or below the sidewalk in speakeasy style. The surprises don’t stop, so you’ll want to stay a while.

Venturing outside of the historic downtown offers its own rewards. Designate a driver and sample the latest vintages at area wineries or the freshest taps at local breweries. Be equally amazed by geological wonders and exotic animals eating from your hand. Tap into the 1950s vibe when you sip a soda fountain milkshake and sidle up to Elvis. Pick your own wildflowers, score a fresh bundle of lavender, and find your inner peace in an apple tree labyrinth. There are so many beautiful experiences in Rockbridge County; don’t wait another day to book a stay.
