Each menu signage lists common allergens and traits so you can find the best options for you; whether you have food allergies, health conditions, religious restrictions, or simply need guidance or assistance with your food selections. We do our best to menu in a way that can fit most diets and common restrictions. We take every precaution to check ingredient information and to ensure that cross-contamination of ingredients does not occur. It is important to note, we do not have allergen-free facilities or serving lines.

We know better than to predict a forecast – things change very quickly here in the Shenandoah Valley. Check the weather before you leave home. Many of our activities are under tents, but being outside you may want to pack a jacket for the cooler nights and/or rainy weather. Dress for the weekend is casual.

We encourage dressing in layers and packing a jacket. Comfortable shoes are highly recommended, high-heels can be tricky on the brick sidewalks and/or the grass.
