Fall Escapes at Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards
October is one of the most breathtaking times to visit Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards. The Blue Ridge Mountains blaze with fall color and the slight chill in the air invites extra-cozy moments. Whether you're savoring a glass of wine, hiking through our 450+ acres of rolling farmland, or unwinding in a luxury yurt or the boutique inn, staying at Nicewonder in the fall is an experience like no other.
Glamping Under the Stars
Autumn is glamping season at its finest, and Nicewonder's luxury yurts provide the ultimate retreat. Set under a canopy of trees, each yurt offers rustic charm and modern comfort. After a day of exploring, cuddle up under a blanket with a glass of wine on your private porch or by the firepit as the crisp evening air settles in.
Raise a Glass at the Winery
Celebrate the harvest at our estate winery, where guided tastings showcase our exceptional vintages. From bold reds to refreshing whites, every pour reflects the unique character of our vineyard.
Outdoor Adventure Awaits
Autumn transforms Nicewonder into an outdoor playground, offering endless ways to enjoy the season. Guests can hike or bike miles of trails that wind through woodlands, play a round of golf at The Virginian—an acclaimed championship course designed by Tom Fazio—or take a refreshing dip in the heated infinity pool. For a quieter escape, catch-and-release fishing at Juniper Pond provides a peaceful retreat, while those seeking excitement can try their hand at archery or even hatchet throwing. No matter how you choose to spend the day, the vibrant fall scenery provides the perfect backdrop.
