Today we took the long way home β€” because how could you rush past those Blue Ridge views? πŸ‚βœ¨ We pulled over to breathe in that crisp mountain air, crunch some leaves, and chase every golden color of fall. Cozy cabins, bold reds (the wine and the leaves πŸ˜‰), and vineyard vibes are calling our name. October is Virginia Wine Month, and we’re ready to sip, swirl, and soak it all in! πŸ·πŸ”οΈπŸ”₯  Visit nelsoncounty.com or click link in bio to plan your fall getaway before it gets away πŸ‚πŸ·πŸπŸ‚πŸ·πŸ

Dark Skies Nelson Alert βœ¨πŸ’«βœ¨πŸ’«βœ¨  The Orionid Meteor Shower is reaching its peak on October 21–22, and the night sky is about to light up with shooting stars streaking from Orion’s constellation.  This annual celestial show, created by dust and debris from Halley’s Comet, can bring up to 20 meteors per hour under dark skies. The best time to watch? After midnight until dawn, when Orion rises high and the sky is darkest.  Find a quiet spot away from city lights, let your eyes adjust, and just look up β€” the universe will do the rest.

@nelson151 🍁πŸ”₯πŸ‚  Sundays are made for slowing down πŸ‚πŸ₯‚πŸ
Think boozy brunches with friends, acoustic tunes drifting from the porch, football and a cold, locally crafted beer and a lazy autumn drive through the mountains where every turn is a burst of color. Stop for pumpkins, sip something bubbly, and let the day stretch out just a little longer. It’s your chance to unwind, breathe deep, and soak up the magic before Monday calls again.  Click link bio or visit Nelson 151.com to sign up for our letter and visit our events calendar so you don’t miss the fun 🍁🏈🍷🍳🍹#sundaybrunchday #nelsoncountyva #vawinemonth  #autumn
