Virginia is the fifth-largest wine-producing state in the US and the Shenandoah Valley AVA is one of its quieter, more affordable corners. Pair that with Old Hill, Showalter's, and Big Fish ciders, plus craft breweries clustered in Harrisonburg (Pale Fire, Brothers Craft, Three Notch'd) and Waynesboro (Basic City, Seven Arrows), and you have enough to build a full weekend without leaving Augusta or Rockingham counties.
