Stopped by Cato Corner's farm earlier to pick up some cheeses - they have a virus-friendly tent by the entrance! Got Dutch Farmstead, Womanchego, Dairyere, and Black Ledge Blue. They also sell meats and bread. (You can also get fresh eggs at the next farm over). Lunch was fab with the cheeses, bread, salami, and Pinot Noir.

We enjoyed some great white wines at Priam vineyard sampling four delicious and crisp white wines. Our wine host was friendly and knowledgeable. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating and great scenery of the vineyard to enjoy a picnic with friends.

Its your choice how long you want to stay here, you could stay all day, or just go on a quick 1 hour hike. Theres a lot to choose from. There are various points around the park to park your car and meet at a trail head. I would download the trailmaps head if its your first time so you dont get lost. Some trail heads have parking lots, but some will have street parking. If you are not at the main entrance, I did not see a bathroom in other parking lots.
