| The Perfect Fall Getaway in Northern Virginia | | Featured Destination
| Fairfax County is a perfect blend of old and new. It combines Virginia's beautiful scenery, southern hospitality, and historical character with a cosmopolitan air and close proximity to Washington, DC. Fall is a great time to visit thanks to perfect weather and beautiful autumn foliage, plus the fall harvest of local food, wine, and beer. At any time of year, there are plenty of wineries and craft breweries to visit. The Winery at Bull Run, for example, adjoins the historic Manassas Civil War Battlefield Park and celebrates the way fine wine has been made in Virginia for more than 100 years. For the beer fan in you, there is the Caboose Brewing Co., which pairs craft microbrews from its 15-barrel brew house with fare at its farm-to-table restaurant. Forge Brew Works and Fair Winds Brewing Company also offer their award-winning takes on ales, stouts, and IPAs. There are many Fall Harvest Days and festivals throughout the season, like the Tysons Fall Harvest Festival during the last two weekends of October. Here, you and your loved ones can sample all the flavors and activities of fall. There are arts and crafts booths and wine and beer tasting, as well as fun, free activities like pumpkin bowling and a hay maze. Whatever you do in Fairfax County, you will find yourself close to beautiful fall scenery. Great Falls Park is perhaps the best place to experience autumn hues, with its rushing waters and blazing fall colors. The park's stunning fall foliage makes it one of the most visited destinations in the entire region. Visitors can explore 800 acres of woodland preserved and maintained by the National Park Service, with the Potomac River splashing down right through the center. When you visit Fairfax County, you will find much to love in this picturesque modern treasure, so close to the nation's capital.
