Best Things to Do in the Shenandoah Valley This Winter

The Shenandoah Valley truly does offer four unique seasons of fun, adventure, and romance. Whether you’re looking to enjoy scenic drives through stunning fall foliage, invigorating hikes to waterfalls and breathtaking mountain peaks, or shopping and exploring charming towns, you’ll find plenty of things to do in the Shenandoah Valley. That’s just as true in the winter as in summer, fall, or spring, too! 

It’s also hard to resist the lure of the Shenandoah Valley, a place filled with charming towns, excellent local wineries, breweries, and restaurants, and some of the most breathtaking scenery in the country. Whether your ideal winter retreat involves a cozy afternoon with a good book and a glass of wine or a memorable adventure in the snowy mountains, you can keep just as busy as you want during romantic getaways in VA with us. Below is a curated list of some of our favorite things to do in the Shenandoah Valley in winter. 

  1. Hiking is always on our list of things to do in the Shenandoah Valley, and winter is still a great time to explore local trails! Consider heading to Shenandoah National Park or head to the Blue Ridge Parkway for our favorite local hike, Crabtree Falls. There are plenty more in Staunton and Lexington, too. 
  2. Once the snow hits the ground, many of these trails open up for Nordic skiing and snowshoeing. It’s one of the most tranquil things to do in the Shenandoah Valley, and a favorite place for it is The Peaks of Otter area on the Blue Ridge Parkway. 
  3. Scenic drives aren’t just great in the fall – they’re completely different but just as beautiful in the winter! Head to Shenandoah National Park and enjoy Skyline Drive without the busy crowds, or explore the northern stretches of the famed Blue Ridge Parkway. There are plenty of things to do in both areas and with no leaves on the trees, you’ll enjoy views you wouldn’t otherwise get to see. 
  4. Enjoy the historic charms of downtown Staunton as you hop from one fantastic boutique to the next. It’s a great place to pick up one-of-a-kind gifts for the holidays. Don’t miss the chance to dine at some of the best restaurants in Staunton – it’s a top-rated foodie town! 
  5. Like Staunton, exploring downtown Lexington is one of our favorite things to do in the Shenandoah Valley. 
  6. Winter is also an excellent time to visit some of our local Shenandoah Valley wineries in Virginia. One of our favorites is Rockbridge Vineyard & Brewery
