Two trails. One county. 250 years of history worth raising a glass to. 🍺🏔️
Nelson County’s Founding Foragers VA250 passport trail invites you to taste where American liberty took root — right here in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Visit our farms, orchards, wineries, cideries, and breweries, collect your stamps, and experience the landscape that fueled American independence.
And while you’re here? Don’t miss Liberty Hollow Ale — a Nelson County collab brew brought to life by five of our own breweries across the Nelson 151 and Nelson 29 trails: Blue Mountain Brewery, Blue Mountain Barrel House, WildManDan, Three Notch’d, and Outback Brew House. 6.5% ABV. 27 IBUs. 100% Nelson County. 🇺🇸
Scan the link in our bio to grab your free LoyalBrew digital passport and start planning your revolutionary adventure. 📲
Complete the trail for a chance to win an overnight stay in Nelson County. 🛏️
