Most Instagrammable Spots in Orange County, VA

Located about 40 miles northeast of Charlottesville and about 80 miles southwest of Washington DC, Orange County is one of the most beautiful parts of Virginia that you can visit. Sprawling vineyards, tree-lined roads, and historical sights are just some things that await you in the heart of the Old Dominion. So whether you live in the area and want to explore it further or are just visiting, you should set aside a few days to check out the most Instagrammable spots in Orange County, VA – the photos will surely impress your friends, family, and social media followers! So fill up your gas tank and charge your battery because you’ll have plenty of places to go.

Where can you find Instagrammable spots in Orange County?

Pretty much the whole of Orange County belongs on a postcard. You can easily find breathtaking spots anywhere you turn, whether it’s a specific location or just by the side of the road. This is why so many people decide that buying a vacation home in Virginia is a good investment – who wouldn’t want to come back and experience the beautiful landscapes of Orange County again? Whether you post photos of nature, architecture, or historical landmarks, you’ll find something for your Instagram here.

Wineries are not the only Instagrammable thing you’ll find in Orange County, VA, but they’re photo-worthy.

The most Instagrammable spots in Orange County, VA

In Orange County, VA, you cannot miss out on visiting the wineries. It’s an obvious choice of location for an Instagram-worthy photo shoot. But the wineries are far from the only thing you can see in the area. So prepare to fill up your feed with photos from your trip.

The finest and most beautiful wineries in the country

If Northern Italy is a bit far for you to go for a wine-tasting tour, don’t worry – Orange County’s Monticelli Wine Trail does not disappoint. So Named after Thomas Jefferson’s plan for the United States to produce its high-quality grapes and wines, this association of wineries counts more than 30 nationally and internationally recognized vineyards you can visit. It is simply a must-see in Orange County, VA. You cannot miss out on Reynaud Florence, with its 40 acres of vineyards that you can observe from the patio, or the Well Hung Vineyard, which has its restaurant.

But perhaps the most famous winery is the state’s largest grape-growing and wine-making operation – Barboursville Vineyards. This 900-acre property has several wine-tasting locations, walking trails, and even ruins of an 1821 mansion that belonged to the original owner before burning down. Sprawling vineyards under the setting sun, dark cellars with hundreds of bottles of tasty wine, or remnants of historical buildings – you’ll surely find photo inspiration here!

You don’t want to miss all the wineries that are excellent Instagrammable spots in Orange County, VA.

Historic homes and hotels

Are you one of those people who likes to post about where they’re staying on social media? If so, Orange County won’t disappoint. If not, Orange County may change your mind. You’ll have your choice of beautiful places to spend your nights here, from hotels to vineyards to historic homes for rent.

Stay at one of the cottages at Barboursville Vineyards to be close to the wineries, or opt for a night at the Inn at Willow Grove, an old plantation dating back to the Civil War era that is now a luxury hotel. If that’s not enough history, the Exchange Hotel in Gordonsville is a Civil War museum and a place to lay your head. Virginia has so much history that if you dream of owning a historical home, you may find your perfect property in Orange County. So keep a moving team on speed dial, as experts from 247logisticservices.com advise, just in case you decide it’s time to make one of those historic homes your own.

Madison’s Montpelier – the home of a US president

It may sound strange to call the home of the country’s fourth president one of the most Instagrammable spots in Orange County, but the Montpelier is something you’ll definitely want to post about. If you have the opportunity, take the guided tour around the exhibit. You’ll learn a lot about the life and work of James Madison and American history in general. The exhibit is fascinating but, at times, upsetting. More than 300 enslaved people spent their lives on the property, and portions of the Montpelier are dedicated to them, their lives, and the conditions they spent them – it’s pretty sobering.

The towns of Orange and Gordonsville

Orange County’s two biggest towns are Orange and Gordonsville. If you’re visiting because you’re considering a move to the area and you’re not going to be working in a winery or on a farm, the odds are that Orange and Gordonsville are among the locations you’re considering. Don’t worry – these towns have everything you need to live the good life. Not only will you be able to keep in touch after moving here long distance but you’ll have plenty of places to take your friends and family to when they visit. But before you start planning on how to  maintain relationships after relocation, here are some of the reasons why Orange and Gordonsville are worth a visit:

  • Orange: A quaint little town that started as a railroad stop and courthouse, Orange is an excellent place for history lovers. Taking the history tour will help you understand the place a bit better. But if the tour is not for you, you can check out the shops in the town center – they offer some terrific art, antiques, and gifts.
  • Gordonsville: The nearby town of Gordonsville started with a tavern that opened at the end of the 18th century. It was a critical railroad junction during the Civil War as it was home to a hospital that treated thousands of wounded. Today, that hospital is a hotel and a Civil War museum that are well worth a visit. But if you want to take a break from all the learning, Gordonsville has some great restaurants where you can eat Instagrammable yet tasty meals.

Local farms and stables

There are plenty of wineries and history to see in Orange County. But there’s also farmland. In truth, as you’re driving through the area, you may notice that most of what you’re seeing are large swaths of private land and not houses dotting the side of the road. Some of these family-owned farms are open to visitors. You can stop by to ride horses or buy from some of VA’s best farmer’s markets. This is an excellent option for a family trip, as both adults and children will have fun.

Plan your road trip through Orange County, VA, to visit all the most Instagrammable spots in the area

Orange County is not that big, and most of its attractions are concentrated together. But if you want to visit all the Instagrammable spots in Orange County, VA, you’ll still need to plan your trip carefully because you can spend weeks touring the wineries alone. And all the historical sites and museums will take hours to explore. So don’t be fooled – there are many social media-worthy things to see and do here. If you want to experience them, get a map and mark your favorite attractions!
