Spending Time with Your Favorite People this January in Luray-Page County

January is a time for family and friends. With the beginning of a new year comes the desire to spend more time with the people you hold closest. Throughout the month of January, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy time with your friends, families, and the special people in your lives while visiting Luray-Page County.

 

 

Getaway with Friends

Getting away with friends is always a fun time. Throughout Luray-Page County, there are plenty of opportunities to spend time having fun and make new memories with your friends.

 

With chillier weather, you may not want to be outside. If you’re looking for something fun to do with your friends, head to the Page Theater. The Pink Theater in Luray offers showings of all the newest titles in theaters that are intricately decorated to transport visitors to another world while they enjoy the movies.

 

If the weather isn’t a huge factor for you, grab your friends and head up to the Shenandoah National Park. There’s plenty of hiking that you can still do in the winter, or you can just cruise along Skyline Drive, which runs 105 miles through the Park and has over 70 overlooks that offer stunning views of the Shenandoah Valley. While you’re spending time up there, you’ll be stunned by the views, wildlife, and beauty that surrounds you.  Or if hiking isn’t really you’re thing, you can book a trail ride. At Jordan Hollow Stables, River’s Bend Ranch, or Fort Valley Ranch, you’ll get to go on a relaxing trail ride through the woods and have an afternoon of laughter and fun.

 

For anyone coming to Luray-Page County with friends, going out for drinks is the perfect way to spend your weekend. If you’re a wine lover, make sure you stop in at Wisteria Farm & Vineyard or Castle Vineyard. At both places, you’ll find delicious wine and a place to spend a relaxing afternoon with friends. For anyone who prefers beer, Hawksbill Brewing Company offers a great tap list filled with beer they make right on site. We can’t forget the whiskey lovers either. If you love whiskey, head out to River Hill Distillery or Copper Fox Distillery with your buddies to taste some tasty whiskey and even pick up a bottle or two to take home.
