Peach season snuck up on us this year! We snapped

Peach season snuck up on us this year! We snapped this yesterday at @markermillerorchards , and as you can see there are lots of ripe peaches to be found at our numerous area markets. In addition, @westoaksfarmmarket and @richardfruitmarket are having their annual peach festivals this coming weekend on Saturday and Sunday respectively - don’t let this opportunity sneak past!

DID YOU KNOW that the small spring-fed pond behind

DID YOU KNOW that the small spring-fed pond behind our Visitors Center has a long history? It powered the first grist mill on the adjacent Hollingsworth property, provided recreation activities for the citizens of Winchester, and eventually was purchased by the City of Winchester, using a $30,000 grant from philanthropist Charles Broadway Rouss in 1890 to serve as the City’s main water supply until 1956. It now feeds Wilkins Lake, which borders both @shenandoahuniversity and Jim Barnett Park. 100+ year old dividing walls still border the spring. Check it out next time you’re at the Visitors Center! #discoverwinchester #winchesterva

We’re continually full of surprises here in #winchesterva - if you haven’t had lunch, dinner or Sunday brunch here on the patio at @regions117 , what are you waiting for?

Here’s a little Monday morning moment of zen to start your week off, shot a few days ago at @bellegrove1797 - we shot a 360 degree virtual tour while we were there, check out our Facebook page to see it. Have a great week!

With the largest concentration of outdoor dining in the whole Shenandoah Valley, there's plenty of #space for you here in @oldtownwinchesterva - we just snapped this moments ago on this perfect evening. But if you want even more fresh air, nearly all of our orchards and farm markets are open for the season. We're here and open when you're ready to #discoverwinchester

WE’RE SO EXCITED to welcome @appalachian_offroad_adventure_ to our area! They just began operations up at The Cove Campground, with 40+ miles of off-road trails on 3,000+ acres of beautiful mountain playground. They offer expertly guided 4x4 Jeep off-road experiences. After an orientation ride, they hand you the keys and let you drive! Check out our Facebook page soon for a 360 degree video we did up there on a ride with co-owner Mike a few days ago.

Day one of research for our upcoming blog focused

Day one of research for our upcoming blog focused on our local Mexican restaurants and bakeries found us just down the street from our offices at @antojitosmexicanos.va enjoying homemade tamales and this beast of a drink, a #mangonadas which is made of chamoy sauce, fresh mango, lime juice, tamarind and chili powder. The cuisine is based around owner Israel’s early life growing up near Mexico City. Make sure you say hello to him when you visit, he’s so friendly and a gracious host to his guests! Keep an eye out for our blog - that’s one spot down, 19 more to go before we can finish it up! #discoverwinchester #winchesterva #frederickcountyva @wincvagov @visitshenandoahvalley @vashenvalley @visitvirginia #shenandoahvalley

We recently spent an afternoon with some folks from the @civilwartrails organization while they worked on replacing upwards of 30 interpretation panels at the Third Battle of Winchester trails. Did you know that the Civil War Trails organization was recently recognized by the Maryland Department of the Environment and awarded the Virginia Green Travel Star Award for their #recycling and #sustainability practices? In addition, they’ve been great partners as we try to continually expand the narrative of the Civil War story here to include African Americans and the enslaved population and look deeper into the personal stories surrounding the war. @visitvirginia @shenandoahvalleybattlefields @vashenvalley @visitshenandoahvalley @capitalregion_usa

Foliage check here in the northern part of @vashenvalley ! We just snapped this seconds ago at Vance’s Cove in the GW National Forest here in SW #frederickcountyva . Lots of green still, but definitely only a week or two from peak. Down in #winchesterva the peak will be about a week later than up here in the mountains. This should be a short but intense season this year per the projections we’re hearing!

Our exclusive hand numbered, hand painted ceramic

Our exclusive hand numbered, hand painted ceramic ornaments by Heather Scott at @lightningbughollow studio this year is the famous Old Jake. We chose him as a strong historic symbol of the Winchester area, pointing forward to a better 2021. These are very limited and will sell out, grab one as a gift or for your own tree before they’re gone! Our visitor center and gift shop is open today and 7 days a week from 9am-5pm. Happy holidays!

We’ve got some nice colors coming out across the #winchesterva and #frederickcountyva area this week! You can find especially pretty foliage here along the #tuscaroratrail at Eagle Rock, and even in the heart of Old Town Winchester! Make sure you enjoy this fleeting magic of nature before the season ends!

Take a walk with us right now as we meander through this beautiful row of #peachtrees in #bloom here at Marker-Miller Orchards Farm Market. We just shot this a moment ago. The honey bees are hard at work, and in the early fall these trees will be heavily laden with fresh peaches. Enjoy this moment of zen and keep hanging in there!

The spirit of Apple Blossom is alive and well, even though the festival is cancelled this year. We just stumbled across this locally designed custom bike jersey at @elementsports1 - they're open and practicing safe distancing!

Make sure you include a stop to the @shenandoahvalleymuseum if you’re in the area for a #farmmarket , #leafpeeping or @oldtownwinchesterva this fall! Their gardens and grounds are beautiful this time of year, and as a bonus they have the David Rogers Big Bugs exhibit until November. We just snapped this today on an absolutely beautiful afternoon. @visitvirginia @visitshenandoahvalley @vashenvalley #wanderlove #loveva #discoverwinchester #winchesterva
