Culture & Community

September Events

Though not officially fall, September is an acceptable time to break out your autumn wardrobe, seek out the pumpkin spice lattes, and plan a seasonal getaway.

Fall Events

With rolling mountains, farm-dotted fields, and historic downtowns, Rockbridge County makes an awesome first impression. But there's more to this community than a pretty face.

Kid-Friendly Getaways

Family travel is far more fun when there are opportunities for kids to let loose, and we know of several places that cater to their youngest patrons.

Downtown Charm

Stop for the history, stay for the hospitality. And the live music. The art galleries. The indie coffee shops. The farm-to-table fare. And a few quirky but loveable grumps.

Shop Local

From downtown Lexington boutiques to the antique destinations of Rockbridge County, shopping local is a favorite thing to do with locals and visitors alike.

Eat Fresh

And how do locals eat? With gusto! They also eat like royalty, with field-fresh produce, homegrown beef, and artisanal breads and jams. Innovative chefs serve it up with flair.

Wineries & Breweries

Is this best day of my life, you ask? It could be. But a brew with a view, a glass of Virginia wine, or a well-crafted cocktail might make it even better.

Offbeat Rockbridge

As the saying goes, Southerners don’t hide their oddball relatives in the basement, they trot ‘em onto the front porch for all to see. To put it politely, Rockbridge County has a mighty big porch.
