Glampers can also wander through the gardens or watch the horses graze on the land, or try out one of the yoga classes or get some instruction in Chi Gong. In the afternoon, glampers can head into Crozet or Waynesboro for a bite to eat in a local cafe or restaurant. The area also boasts a number of vineyards and breweries, like King Family Vineyards, Starr Hill Brewery, and White Hall Vineyards, where guests can book a tasting or sit down for a charcuterie plate and a glass of wine.
