1. Virginia Creeper Trail
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1,086 reviews
A bike trail challenging to both beginners and experts.
Reviewed By knightma - Lancaster, United States
Some friends had told us about the trail a couple of years ago. We had a great time, rented a bike and shuttle service to the top of the trail. The part from White Top down to Damascus is pretty much all down hill and is pretty easy, even if you haven’t ridden in a while. There are several places to stop along the way and the scenery is great.

My husband and I went to the Moonlight Drive In to see the Barter production of A Christmas Carol. They play was great and the workers have gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe from COVID. There’s even someone sanitizing the port a potty after every user. The radio station provided great sound and the oh screen was helpful too since we were a little farther back.

A tasting gallery and shop featuring over 85 varieties of the freshest organic, extra virgin, and naturally fused and infused olive oils from around the world. Experiment with your taste buds as you pair olive oils with balsamic vinegars, or our 18-year aged balsamic condimento from Modena, Italy. Yum!

The customer experience and customer service are as incredible as the product itself. Every time I’ve been in the staff is extremely friendly and helpful -I look forward to going as an “experience”! The variety of high quality infused oils and vinegars is mind blowing and getting to taste a huge variety in the store wonderful. I absolutely love this place and stop in any time I’m in the area. Well done to the management and staff!!

This scenic rail to trail park extends for about 34 miles from Damascus, Va to Abingdon. I walked for about an hour and a half and really liked it. There seemed to be a lot of trees along the trail. I'm guessing this would be a great place for a summer hike or bike ride if you like well shaded trails.

The Love Spell February Special was a perfect way to spend the afternoon at Salt of the Earth. The CDB massage with Kai was fabulous and the red light therapy was amazing. After so many gloomy days in February it was a great way to bring energy for the rest of the month! Jill and her staff are super professional and kind. The social distancing protocol was on point and made me feel comfortable in every way. Thank you!

Come for a tasting and a picnic on our beautiful riverfront property! Kids, dogs and kayaks welcome!
Reviewed By bllngskrn - Wilkesboro, United States
A beautiful fall afternoon can only be enhanced by reflective rolling water, interesting friends, and great wine. The water and the wine can be had at Abingdon Vineyard. You buy your wine and snacks inside and move outdoors to one of the picnic tables on the recently cleared river bank. This setting lends itself to good times. Now, if I can only find my way back....
