MOUNTAIN GUIDE
48 Hours at Wintergreen
Fresh mountain air, scenic chairlift rides, wineries, and relaxed evenings in Virginia’s Blue Ridge.
A Perfect Mountain Weekend
There’s something about arriving at Wintergreen in the spring. The Blue Ridge mountains stretch in every direction, the air feels cooler and clearer than the valley below, and the pace instantly slows.
Mornings begin with coffee on the deck and long mountain views. Afternoons are for hiking, scenic chairlift rides, or wine tasting along Nelson County’s Route 151. Evenings end with sunset over the ridges and quiet mountain air.
Staying at Three Ridges 405, you’re just steps from the slopes, trails, and village —he perfect home base for a relaxed weekend in Virginia’s Blue Ridge.
Here’s how to spend 48 hours at Wintergreen.
Sunset views and local wine at Hazy Mountain Vineyard — one of the most beautiful stops just minutes from Wintergreen
From quiet vineyard views to lively mountain evenings, Wintergreen offers a perfect mix of relaxation and activity.
Fourth of July at the Wintergreen Meadow — live music, open skies, and one of the best places to watch the sunset.
FRIDAY EVENING Arrive Above the Valley
The drive up Wintergreen Mountain is part of the experience.
As the road climbs higher, the views begin to open and the air cools noticeably.
After arriving, most guests start the weekend the same way — stepping out onto the deck to take in the view. Sunset here feels slower and softer, the layers of Blue Ridge mountains fading into blue as evening settles in.
Dinner can be as relaxed or elevated as you like. Some guests head to The Copper Mine Bistro, while others stop along Route 151 before coming up the mountain.
Back at the condo, the evening ends quietly — mountain air, stars overhead, and the calm that only a mountain escape can bring..
SATURDAY MORNING Coffee & Trails
Morning on the mountain begins slowly.
Coffee on the deck. Cool air. Views that stretch for miles
After breakfast, it’s time to explore. The Blue Ridge Overlook Trail is a favorite for a short walk with incredible views, while the scenic chairlift ride offers sweeping views of the valleys below.
Layered Blue Ridge views from the mountain roads at Wintergreen — the kind of scenery you never rush past.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON Wine Country
One of Wintergreen’s best secrets is how close it sits to some of Virginia’s best wineries.
Within twenty minutes of the mountain, you’ll find some of Virginia’s most beautiful wineries:
• Veritas Vineyard & Winery
• Afton Mountain Vineyards
•Hazy Mountain Vineyards
• King Family Vineyards
An afternoon tasting wine with the Blue Ridge mountains in the background is practically required.
SATURDAY EVENING Sunset on the Mountain
Back at Wintergreen, sunset becomes the evening’s main event. The light shifts quickly — golden tones fading into soft blue as the sun dips behind the ridges.
For a perfect end to the day, head to Devils Grill. With sweeping mountain views and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s one of the best places to watch the sunset on the mountain.
Or keep things simple — a glass of wine on the deck, cool air, and a view that never gets old.
It’s the kind of evening you don’t rush.

SUNDAY MORNING One Last View
Before heading home, take one more quiet morning on the deck. Coffee tastes better at elevation, and the mountain views have a way of convincing you to stay just a little longer.
Most guests leave already planning their next visit.
