About the Location

Wintergreen Resort

Spanning 11,000 acres on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Wintergreen has spacious condominiums and vacation homes surrounded by winding trails, cascading streams and lush forests. Wintergreen Resort is peaceful and refreshing, with an endless variety of activities.

Golf: Wintergreen has two courses; the recently renovated Devils Knob course, the highest course in Virginia at 3,850 feet, is known for cool summer temperatures and outstanding conditions. Their nationally ranked Stoney Creek course has 27 holes designed by world-renowned golf course architect Rees Jones.

Tennis: Facilities at both Devils Knob and Stoney Creek total 19 clay courts and 3 indoor deco-turf courts. Conference guests can use the clay courts at no charge.

The Fitness Center features a cardiovascular and strength studio, heated indoor and outdoor pools, hot tubs, steam rooms, and saunas. Conference guests receive complimentary access to the Fitness Center.

Wintergarden Spa: Offering a variety of massages, body wraps, skin treatments, nail care, and a variety of packages, you are guaranteed to leave feeling relaxed and revitalized. Spa access is complimentary, and services can be scheduled directly with Wintergarden.

Dining: With four restaurants, you'll have a chance to try a different opportunity each evening.   

The Copper Mine: Casual, elegant dining for breakfast or dinner. Their specialties include USDA Prime Midwestern Beef, Canadian Cold Water Lobster Tail, Jumbo Shrimp stuffed with Chesapeake Style Crab, and a vegetarian option is featured nightly. Reservations are suggested.
Devils Grill: A clubhouse restaurant located at the Devils Knob Golf Course features a spectacular mountaintop view with an elegant, club-like atmosphere. Great American fare with a distinctly southern flare. Try our shrimp and grits or cashew grouper. Reservations suggested.
The Edge: Casual dining overlooking the mountains. With its large screen television and live entertainment, our most casual restaurant is perfect for both family and group dining. Serving lunch and dinner, the Edge offers such specialties as spicy buffalo wings, Virginia barbecue, chicken quesadilla, fish tacos, and a variety of tempting pasta dishes. Reservations are not required.
Stoney Creek Bar and Grill: Offers a fantastic view of the Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking our premier 27 hole golf course.  Serving lunch and dinner, the restaurant offers outdoor seating with in-season live entertainment.

Additionally, Wintergreen is a great place for outdoor recreation such as hiking, fly fishing, horseback riding, swimming and mountain biking. The Out of Bounds recreation area includes miniature golf and other fun activities. Enjoy the long days in the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains, and consider a short trek to the nearby Wintergreen Winery, or a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
