Enchanting Blue Ridge CARavan

 

The HOTEL ROANOKE is our hub for the week (no need to pack up and unpack!). Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and built in the Tudor Revival Style, its history extends back to 1882 (with a state-of-the-art restoration in 1995).

After touring, gather with friends — old and new — in the hotel's art deco Pine Bar.

 

Drive the celebrated Blue Ridge Parkway, traverse a covered bridge from 1879,  and experience historic towns unchanged by the 20th century.

Tour spectacular 18th & 19th c houses - each a Virginia Historic Landmark. Experience wine tastings and award-winning luncheon venues and dine al fresco in a vineyard!

Visit renowned institutions and collections!

 

Then, Friday evening, “all aboard” for the Railway Banquet! Dress for Travel in the Classic Era! Your Classic has pulled up to the Railway Station and you are dressed for polished travel in an earlier time, or don something festive for the dining car!

Plan now to join with us! Registration info to follow… but kindly alert us of your intention to celebrate the many glories of Virginia:
