Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail
There are 12 vineyards across the peninsula between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers; two are located within Virginia’s River Realm. Beginning in Irvington, The Dog and Oyster Vineyard features wines designed to be paired with our local oysters. Fridays and Saturdays bring freshly prepared oyster or crab offerings direct from local waters each day. Just 5 miles away is Good Luck Cellars in Kilmarnock featuring Chardonnays, Vidal Blancs, Vignoles, Chambourcins and Cabernet Sauvignons. The entire trail features an oyster crawl in November to sample our native bi-valve as part of Virginia’s Official Oyster Month!

Parks
Bring your bikes, plan a route and take in all that the region has to offer. Parks, or enjoy an afternoon at one of our beautiful parks:
Belle Isle State Park: Belle Isle has seven miles of shoreline on the northern shore of the Rappahannock River. Visitors can explore a wide variety of tidal wetlands interspersed with farmland and upland forests.
Baylor Park Nature Trail: Baylor Park includes a nature trail that is part of Virginia’s birding and wildlife trail system, following an old road around the boundaries of Norris Pond. Here you can view waterfowl, native plants and enjoy the beautiful, quiet outdoors.
Holly Point Nature Park: Holly Point features woodland walking paths, picnic areas and children’s gardens and is dog friendly. It also showcases the Deltaville Maritime Museum, home to the F.D. Crockett, a nearly 63-foot log-bottom Buyboat built exclusively for power.
Hughlett’s Point and Dameron Marsh: Pristine, untouched Chesapeake Bay coastline, preserved by the Commonwealth of Virginia.
