Motor Coach Trip to Abingdon, VA

Travel with us by deluxe motor coach to this historic town located near the Virginia/Tennessee border.

Join us for a Fall motor coach trip to Abingdon, VA, the oldest English-speaking settlement west of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Located off I-81 near the Virginia/Tennessee border, Abingdon provides visitors with a memorable experience as they stroll brick-lined sidewalks past buildings that date back to the 1700s. Star attractions include The Martha Washington Hotel & Spa (our home for 2 nigihts) and The Barter Theatre, the State Theater of Virginia. After checking into “The Martha”, we’ll enjoy Afternoon Tea and have time to explore the historic hotel and grounds. We’ll have a special dinner at The Tavern, the oldest historic building in Abingdon. Built in 1779, it was used from its beginning as a tavern and overnight inn for stagecoach travelers. It is now an elegant upscale restaurant serving American and German cuisine in a cozy, warm atmosphere with period décor. The next morning, after breakfast at the hotel, we will board our coach for a half-day driving tour of historic Abingdon. Our step-on guide will be “The Salt Maker”, Jim Bordwine. He will bring to life the history of the Appalachia Mountain people and the role this region has had in the Ice Age, Revolutionary War, Civil War and some of history’s greatest moments including rocket fuel and moonshine! Jim Bordwine has a history of his own, his appearances on “Mountain Men” (History Channel) and his work to keep and share “real” history will add to your experience as you visit the sites where history was made and been kept. We’ll have free time for lunch on our own and perusing the shops in downtown Abingdon. Or, you may choose to return to the hotel for enjoying the “Spa” activities during the afternoon. At 5:30, we’ll dine at The Martha, then walk across the street for a performance of “The Producers” at The Barter Theatre. The next morning, after a relaxing breakfast, we’ll check out of the hotel and head to the Abingdon Vineyards and Winery, located in a picturesque idyllic setting at the confluence of a small brook and river. We’ll enjoy a variety of wine tastings and then a delightful catered soup/sandwich lunch. There is a lovely outdoor seating area to enjoy the natural ambiance of an autumn day! After lunch, we’ll board our motor coach and depart for Hoptown. Cost per person is $640 for double; $850 for single. A deposit of $200 per person is required upon reservation. Balance due by August 1. (No cancellation insurance will be available for this trip.)
