Waynesboro Travel Guide

The Iris Inn, a luxury Shenandoah bed and breakfast, is the perfect base to explore Virginia's Blue Ridge mountains. Located 30 minutes from Charlottesville, the Inn is close to nearly 30 wineries and is within a few minutes drive to the southern entrance of Shenandoah National Park. Owners Dave and Heidi Lanford warmly welcome visitors to their cozy mountainside inn with gourmet breakfasts and a complimentary nightly happy hour. The eco-friendly B&B also offers an electric vehicle charging station.

One of my favorite hikes around Charlottesville. Pick up a sandwich from Bellair in the morning and enjoy a picnic on the rocks. Then, stop by a brewery or winery on the way back to town.
