Your Itinerary for a Breathtaking Autumn Tour:

The wineries along the trail, such as the nearby Early Mountain Vineyards, are buzzing with activity. The grape vines themselves turn a lovely golden-yellow, and there’s nothing better than sitting on a scenic patio with a glass of wine, soaking in the panoramic views of the colorful rolling foothills.

The grounds of President James Madison’s historic home are home to stunning old-growth trees that put on a spectacular color display.
