Lexington Guide 21 - 21

F
arm-fresh and locally sourced
aren't just trendy phrases in the
foodie world; they're part of
Lexington dining. A few highlights:
The Southern Inn is a Main Street
mainstay recognized by its iconic neon
light. Choose a cozy seat overlooking
Main Street when you dine at Juniper
Lounge at The Gin Hotel or tuck
beneath the patio awning at Tonic.
Sweet Treats' hidden deck is perfect
for sipping and nibbling or be seen
on the sidewalk at Pronto Caffee
& Gelateria. Eclectic pizzas and
craft beer are delights at Heliotrope
Brewery or you can fill your glass from
one of 30 taps at Salerno Wood Fired
Pizza & Taphouse.
Haywood's Piano Bar and Grill,
Bistro on Main, and The Red Hen
are excellent downtown Lexington
options for scrumptious meals and warm
ambiance. For laid back meals with the
same high standards, Pure Eats serves
one of the best farm-to-table burgers
around.
In Buena Vista and Lexington, we
enjoy all our barbecue options, such as
Foothill Momma's BBQ & Juke Joint
and JJ's Meat Shak.
Give in to your sweet tooth with
a scoop of handmade ice cream at
Sweet Things or artisan chocolate at
Cocoa Mill Chocolatier in downtown
Lexington. A country ham sandwich
with hoop cheese at Layne's Country
Store or a slice of pie at Natural
Bridge General Store is the perfect
splurge. In northern Rockbridge, it's
Gertie's Country Store serving downhome
cooking.
Our wineries-Rockbridge
Vineyard & Brewery, Jump
Mountain Vineyard, Lexington
Valley Vineyard and Great Valley
Farm Brewery & Winery-are relaxed
places to enjoy a wine flight or picnic
with a bottle of their best vintage.
Coffee afficionados score big with a stop
at Lexington Coffee Roasters.
For craft beer lovers the options begin
in Rockbridge County and extend north
along the Shenandoah Beerwerks
Trail. (See sidebar below for details.)

SHENANDOAH BEERWERKS TRAIL
Eighteen breweries strong and pouring some of the best craft beer Virginia has to offer,
the Shenandoah Beerwerks Trail is one of the best ways to explore and adventure
through the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
Our four trail breweries are quite distinct from the others and each other. In downtown
Lexington, Heliotrope Brewery is a Main Street appeal with wood-fired pizza.
They are also a Craft Malt Certified Brewery, meaning at least 10% of their annual malt
usage is craft malt. Heliotrope's is 99% and most of it occurs in-house with local grain
producers.
Visit Great Valley Farm Brewery & Winery where the views are as spectacular as
the beverages being served. Food trucks and live music rotate through most weekends;
sit back and relax.
Devils Backbone Outpost Tap Room & Kitchen is the largest craft beer producer in
Rockbridge County and the home base for nationally known, award-winning favorite
Vienna Lager. Grab a snack from the kitchen and soak in their hilltop patio views.
Our latest addition to the trail is Rockbridge Vineyard & Brewery, a renown winery
now crafting their own small-batch beer. Live music most weekends sets the tone for
unwinding with a new brew.
As you visit, request a Beerwerks Passport and collect stamps. Eight
stamps can be redeemed for a trail t-shirt. Visit BeerwerksTrail.com for
more information.
