Lovingston

As the county seat of Nelson County, Lovingston features a historic district with locally owned shops, lodging, and dining options. It's a central hub for exploring the Nelson 29 craft beverage trail, which includes wineries, breweries, and distilleries. The Rockfish River offers opportunities for kayaking, fishing, and wildlife observation. Visit the Village of Lovingston Farmers Market on Wednesday afternoons for local produce, baked goods, and handcrafted items. Explore Fortune's Cove Preserve, a 5-mile mountainous hike with seven viewpoints and a stream, maintained by The Nature Conservancy. Sip fresh espresso at Trager Brothers Coffee, a family-owned organic roastery roasting certified-organic beans to order.
