I love Morais because they have a great area for kids to play and they sell wine slushies in the summer.
Morais is an 8 minute drive from our house and very close to the Flying Circus. So this is a great place for a drink after enjoying an air show.

Their Lemongrass Pils is my favorite. They have great outdoor seating and lots of room to throw a frisbee or a football. They also often have live bands and food trucks.
Powers is a 10 minute drive from our house and is very close to Crockett Park so it's great for a post fishing trip beer.

Old Bust Head beer is my favorite beer. They have live music, food trucks, trivia, yoga, and other events all the time. That area also has some other attractions such as an escape room, a community pool and playground, a kombucha shop, coffee shop, winery, and Cold War Museum.
Old Bust Head is a 20 minute drive from our house and is a great place to visit on your way back to the DC area or other places Northeast of us.

It's a lot of fun to get a flight and try all of their crazy cider flavors. They have lots of outdoor seating and fire pits and often have a food truck on site. I recommend pairing with a visit to the Flying Circus or a fishing adventure at Kelly's Ford.

There are many restaurant options at the Bealeton Village Center, and Taqueria Jasmine is probably the best. It's a restaurant in a strip-mall so the ambiance is lacking - but the food is legit.

Sightseeing
They offer air shows on Sundays from May - October. The shows feature wing-walkers and all sorts of fancy airplanes. You can also sign up for bi-plane rides afterwards. They generally host a Hot Air Balloon Festival in late August. We often see hot air balloons and old-timey airplanes in the sky above our farm. We capture some really pretty photos in August when the hydrangeas are in full bloom and there are hot air balloons in the sky.
The flying circus is a 10 minute drive from our house and is close to Morais Winery. There's also a funky old Rollerskate statue a little further south on 17 if you are into quirky things like that.

This is probably the most popular hike in Shenandoah National Park, and starting March 1, 2022 you will need a day pass to access the trail which you can purchase here: https://www.recreation.gov/. You will also need to pay to enter the National Park unless you already have a National Parks pass.
The trail itself is challenging as it is about 10 miles long and involves some rock scrambling. I find the rock scrambling to be very fun and the views from the summit are to die for.
It's a little less than an hour drive from our house to the trail head. Make sure you screenshot directions back to the house as the reception from the trailhead is not great.

This is our favorite place to cool off in the summer on the Rappahannock River. In the early summer tubing is possible from the Riverside Preserve to a put-out near the Fauquier Country Club. You can also do a shorter tubing adventure by hiking along the preserve and then floating back to your car. Parking is kind of limited here, so we generally try to get there early in the morning or go later in the afternoon. If you get there late, you just have to walk a ways to get to river access.
Also, let us know if you would like to borrow some tubes.

We like to park at the Fauquier Education Farm and ride our bikes to Old Town Warrenton for lunch. The path is paved the whole way and the Education Farm generally has a beautiful display of flowers in the summer. You can also volunteer to pick or plant vegetables for local food banks at the Education Farm. Our kids love to stop at the Warrenton Community Center playground on the way back.

Great spot to swim in the Rappahannock River or go fishing. You can also put your canoe or kayak in here and float down to Kelly's Ford. This is about a 10 min drive from our home and we like to pair our river adventures with a trip to Old Trade Brewery which is another 10 minute drive down the road. The Corner Deli in Remington is an even closer place to get some lunch nearby.
