This two-day plan combines a Skyline Drive hike, a local wine stop, dinner in Luray, Luray Caverns, and time near downtown. Seasonal schedules, park conditions, and reservation availability may affect the order, so confirm each stop before setting out.

Begin with Stony Man Trail. After the hike, leave time for lunch and choose between Wisteria Farm & Vineyard and Castle Vineyards. Wisteria is located on a working farm in Stanley, while Castle Vineyards is north of Luray. Their public hours differ and can change seasonally, so confirm the tasting-room schedule before choosing. Chop House Bistro is another reservation-friendly dinner option if PORCH+VINE is unavailable.
