Good Times

A Blissful Break in the Backwoods

OUR PERSONAL FAVORITES:

205 Grill at The Copper Brewing Company: Their grilled cheese is hands down one of the best we’ve ever had – crispy, gooey, and absolutely delicious.

Depot Express: Enjoy a delicious meal in a historic train depot. It's really cool to eat in such an unusual setting, with the charm of the old depot adding so much character to the meal.

The Panther Distillery: A fantastic selection of locally made spirits. They have tastings, tours to learn about their distilling process, and craft cocktails recipes.

Carlos Creek Winery Wine tastings, fun outdoor family events like their annual Grape Stomp, and a great gift shop. Be sure to check it out.

Brophy Park Sledding fun for the whole family.

Christmas in Alexandria A weekend of family fun to kick off the holiday season.
