On the Fields of Gold Farm Trail, travelers can tour working farms and orchards, then feast on a locally grown meal at one of the many farm-to-table restaurants found throughout the region. From small towns to outdoor adventures and the flourishing culinary scene, travelers will find it easy to stay busy in the Valley.

Book a Beerwerks Package at the restored Stonewall Jackson Hotel, right in downtown Staunton, and visit the 14 breweries on the Beerwerks Trail.
