Description
Travel southwest toward the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains for the most popular fall lunch destination in Virginia, Peaks of Otter Lodge. It is located just off the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Bedford, Virginia. Enjoy their special Octoberfest Buffet featuring several hot entrees, vegetables and desserts. We've allowed time to enjoy a walk out to the lake that sits behind the lodge. You can't visit this part of Virginia without a stop at a local orchard farm for freshly picked "grown in Virginia" apples, homemade cider, apple butter, jams and jellies and other farm fresh products. In the afternoon, enjoy a guided tour through Thomas Jefferson's Poplar Forest. One of only two homes Thomas Jefferson designed for his personal use, the retreat at Poplar Forest was the place where Jefferson "came to renew his personal creativity." Enjoy a tour of this National Historic Landmark in Lynchburg, Virginia and marveling at the neoclassical architecture of the unique octagonal house.
