Bottoms Up Beverage Trail

Speaking of trails, Experience Clarke County recently teamed up with Discover Front Royal to launch the Bottoms Up Beverage Trail, which includes beer, cider, wine, and mead beverage makers in Berryville, Front Royal, and Warren County in the northern Shenandoah Valley. The Trail invites craft beverage enthusiasts to visit twelve locations including Chilly Hollow Brewing Company, Twin Oaks Tavern Winery, Twisted Oak Farm Brewery, Veramar Vineyard, Wild Hare Cidery, Backroom Brewery, Chester Gap Cellars, Chester Street Tavern, Honey & Hops Brew Works, Reitano Vineyards, Saga Meadery, and Vibrissa Beer.

Participants are invited to sign-up for the digital passport by scanning the QR Code at participating establishments and creating your free account. As you visit each beverage trail spot, use your phone to check in. Then, you’re all set to earn prizes!

The trail mascot is a smiling bear floating downstream in an inner-tube with a beer in-paw. Be like the bear and sip your way through the Shenandoah!
