Bring the whole family for a day, or even two days of fun, education, and agritainment. Participating farms from A-Z on the Spring Farm Tour, there will be something for everyone.

Bring your four legged friend down to Purcellville and experience the fun activities of dog day at the Breaux Vineyards while you enjoy live music, Cajun Gumbo, Andouille sausage sandwiches, hayrides and wine tastings. Not animal friendly? Stop at Sunset Hills Vineyards , where there will be guided tours of the working winery and vineyard, all while enjoying Sunset Hills’ delectable wine. If you are more in the mood for a savory meal, start at Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm in the Broadlands for a true farm to fork experience. Here, you can tour the working garden that includes fresh herbs and heirloom vegetables along with two recently restored barns. For a more hands on experience, stop off at The Equine Rescue League in Lovettsville where you can visit with ponies, donkeys and horses of all ages and sizes. Anything from Farms to Vineyards, along with a fine dining experience, you will be able to find on this tour and without a doubt be able to enjoy this entire weekend with the whole family!
