Our County Park has a special place in our hearts, and it can in yours, too. 🌳 This is where outdoor adventure meets local history! From scenic walking trails and the Tuscarora Trail to softball, tennis, volleyball, basketball, and the recently redesigned Limestone Ledges Disc Golf Complex, there’s plenty to explore at this beloved park.

History comes alive here, too. Discover the marker honoring the Toms Brook Battlefield, set in a meadow with sweeping views of Signal K**b and Massanutten Mountain. With picnic shelters, gazebos, grills, and more, it’s an ideal spot to spend a day outdoors in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley.

Nestled among six acres of Virginia vineyards, The Winery at Kindred Pointe is a welcoming boutique winery where handcrafted wines, local hospitality, and a passion for winemaking come together.

Amy and Bruce Helsley take a thoughtful, low-intervention, barrel-aged approach, producing approximately 1,000 cases of award-winning wine each year. From Seyval Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Albariño, and Dazzle to Chambourcin, Dornfelder, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot, every bottle reflects the character of the vineyard and the care behind the craft. 🍇

Their dedication has earned numerous wine competition medals, along with multiple awards for their ciders. Whether you’re a local wine lover or visiting Virginia wine country, Kindred Pointe is a destination worth savoring.

Introducing Between the Vines, our new monthly book club!

Come by yourself, bring a friend, listen to the audiobook, finish every page, or show up ready to admit you only made it halfway. 😂 We just want to read some great books, drink some great wine, and build a community of readers here at the vineyard. 🍷

And first things first…
YOU get to help choose our very first book!

We'll be sharing the contenders soon, so stay tuned. 👀📖
