Winchester is the "Apple Capital of the World" so we have orchards everywhere! But the apple trees will likely be empty by the end of October. But there's still plenty to do in Winchester and the surrounding areas.
Old Town Winchester
Beautiful architecture, small shops and local restaurants, including:
~Loudon Street walking mall
~Handley Library
~George Washington's Office
~George Washington Hotel
~Patsy Cline's house

MSV (the museum of the Shenandoah valley) is basically in Old Town. It has has a museum, gardens, AND new walking trails
Also take advantage of Winchester's many cideries, breweries, wineries, and farm markets galore.
