I was browsing MSNBC recently and came across this article, which suggested a Fall outing to the Virginia wineries:
Top 10 fun fall foliage adventures
Alternative leaf-peeping adventures offer a new perspective on autumn
...
As the foliage of over 15-million acres turns brilliant shades of reds, golds, and browns, the entire state of Virginia celebrates a month-long wine festival that would make Bacchus proud. October 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of Virginia Wine Month, with some 30 wineries falling within the scenic Shenandoah Valley area. The list of possible activities is endless, but highlights include attending a blues festival, overnighting at a winery, enrolling in food-and-wine camp, or popping open some bubbly from a hot-air balloon.
...
Some of this may be a stretch as far as activities in our area go, but for my part, the vineyards in Linden (Linden and Naked Mountain Vineyards) and in Mauertown (North Mountain Vineyards) are well worth the visit. The wines are up and coming and the countryside is as good as anywhere in this great land of ours. They make for a very pleasant time.
Here is a link to the source of the MSNBC material, which came from a Virginia trade association:
