Autumn is our area’s best-kept secret. During this season, the native flora turns from green to gold, casting a warm, welcoming hue over the entire region. One of the most popular ways to absorb all that autumn has to offer is with various outdoor activities. With amazing fall foliage and cooler temperatures, it’s a great time to enjoy a hike or bike ride through nature. You can also enjoy spectacular fall colors as you sip on a glass of full-bodied wine at The Dog and Oyster Vineyard. These are just a couple of ways you can experience fall in the Northern Neck. Read on for a complete list of our fall season recommendations!
