In addition to its famously spectacular scenery, the Shenandoah Valley has become known for its lineup of great breweries stretching from Botetourt County all the way to the West Virginia border. And while the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail is all about guiding beer lovers to the region’s best brews, it also happens to be the ideal roadmap for foodies, too. After all, you’ll need something tasty to help you soak up all of that delicious beer. The Shenandoah Valley Food Trail spotlights 22 foodie experiences scattered along the Beerwerks Trail—places like Rockbridge County’s Sugar Tree Inn, a cozy spot with home-cooked breakfasts and dinners less than a mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. See also: Staunton’s The Shack, home to James Beard Award–nominated chef Ian Boden, and Augusta County’s authentic Edelweiss German Restaurant. And that’s just to name a few.
