Busy Holiday Week:
Scroll down to read about New Year's Eve in Wintergreen Resort.
It will be busy in Nelson County and Wintergreen Resort this holiday week. Arrive early and plan ahead. You can book your tubing and Ridgely's Fun Park tickets, in Wintergreen, on-line. I suggest that you book as many reservations on line as possible, and make your restaurant reservations well in advance.
Parking in Wintergreen: Plan to arrive early and follow the directions of the Wintergreen employees. They will guide you to the next available parking lot. You may need to park in outer parking lots and ride the Wintergreen Shuttle to the ski area. Don't worry, Wintergreen has many shuttles running and your wait will not be long.
Book any WinterGarden Spa visits well in advance. Reservations are required.
Don't forget that Nelson County has many restaurants that are open during the busy holiday week. For a full list of area restaurants, visit my blog and click on the Restaurant link on the right navigation bar. There are several restaurants within a quick drive of Wintergreen Resort, including micro-breweries and wineries that serve food.
In Beech Grove, at the foot of Wintergreen's Mountain Village, both Devil's Backbone Brewery and Java Depot will both be open for the entire week. Reservations are not taken; so, arrive early. (Both restaurants are a short drive from the resort)
I hope to see you in beautiful Nelson County soon…
