Luxury Mountain Retreat in the Heart of the Monticello Wine Trail & Nelson 151

Good to know

Plume is a luxury mountain retreat in Afton, Virginia, located just off the Nelson 151 Wine & Brewery Trail in the heart of Virginia wine country. Designed around sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views, the home is an ideal home base for wine weekends, brewery getaways, hiking trips, family vacations, couples’ escapes, and relaxed weekends with friends. Start the morning with coffee on the balcony overlooking the ridges of Humpback Rocks. Spend the afternoon visiting some of Afton and Nelson County’s best wineries, breweries, cideries, and distilleries. Then come home to soak in the private hot tub, gather around the firepit, or watch the stars beneath Plume’s dark-sky-compliant exterior lighting. Nearly every room at Plume was designed to take advantage of the surrounding mountain landscape. Large windows, open living spaces, two balconies, and a spacious front porch create places to enjoy everything from misty mountain mornings to dramatic Blue Ridge sunsets. Inside, Plume combines modern design with a relaxed Virginia countryside feel. The open living area is made for gathering after a day on the Nelson 151 trail, while multiple indoor and outdoor spaces give larger groups room to spread out.
