October means Apple Harvest Festival at Graves Mountain Lodge, but also this October, Bald Top Brewing Co., and DuCard Vineyards have joined forces for Vines and Bines Festival!

Ride or bike the small country roads, even participate in Tour de Madison in May or take advantage of the equestrian trails.

Go fishing at Graves Mountain’s trout pond, or rent a rod, and even a yurt at Rose River Farm.

Hike a couple of Shenandoah National Park’s most popular hikes on Old Rag Mountain or White Oak Canyon Falls or enjoy a stroll at Hoover Ridge or hit the driving range.
