With sweeping views of the Allegheny Mountains and delicious local wine to sample, the allure of Rock Roadhouse Winery is pretty obvious. And yet, there’s another element to this beloved destination that you may not have realized. At one time, the building that now houses the winery served as a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) building. So the next time you’re in the mood for a one-of-a-kind Virginia day trip that promises a history lesson and some great wine, you’ll know exactly where to go.

Tucked away in the heart of the mountains of western Virginia awaits a vineyard that's equal parts beautiful and historic: Rock Roadhouse Winery.
The building once operated as the Valley High School and bus garage! The Civilian Conservation Corps was also responsible for establishing the nearby Douthat State Park, one of Virginia's original six.
Stop by today, and you'll find that history and the land are both celebrated at Rock Roadhouse.
