Crow’s Nest of Natural Area Preserve
Crow’s Nest is, simply, a beautiful place and considered highly significant from numerous standpoints. Topography is varied, with the high narrow ridge-line rising 160 feet above two tidally influenced creeks: Potomac and Accokeek. The peninsula is deeply dissected on both its northern and southern flanks by a series of deep ravines cutting into ancient coastal plain marine sediments and feeding tidal marshes along the bordering creeks. Crow’s Nest also includes a shoreline birding/nature trail to viewpoints of Accokeek Creek, and an ADA-accessible canoe/kayak launch facility for the Crow’s Nest Water Trail. Learn More.

Hartwood Winery
Hartwood Winery opened in the spring of 1989 in the rural community of Hartwood, Stafford County, VA. “Hart” is the Old English word for deer, and according to local legend, is the basis for the area’s name. Just 15 minutes west of Fredericksburg, Hartwood is an area long known for its heavy deer population, and in turn, the deer has become the winery’s logo. Hartwood’s wines include Chardonnay, Seyval, Rappahannock White, DeWeese White, Rappahannock Red, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Hartwood’s special events include Open Houses, Barrel Tastings, Mid-Winter and Mid-Summer Mini Fests, and Dinners at the winery. Hartwood Winery is open 11:00 am – 5:00 pm Wed.-Fri. and 11:00 am – 6:00 pm Sat.-Sun.

Adventure Brewing’s lineup of beers includes four year round styles and a number of seasonal or special batches. The year round styles include an IPA, a Pale Ale, Wheat and Stout. Specialty and seasonal batches such as Double IPA, Pumpkin Beer, Smoked Ale, Christmas lager and others will, of course, invite more adventurous tastes. We serve samples and full beers in the tasting room as well as fill growlers (64 oz. bottles) to take home.
