Paddle To The Sweet Shine: Kayak & Canoe Tour to Award Winning Distillery
New! Canoeing & Kayaking Tour to the Bloomery Plantation Distillery only 1 hour from DC Metro Area
 River & Trail Outfitters has teamed up with Bloomery Plantation Distillery, in Charles Town, WV, crafting a fun, festive and flavorful day where participants paddle the mellow,
wilderness-surrounded Shenandoah River and then tour a local distillery and taste a variety of their handcrafted limoncello and liquor goodness.
The splash and spirit day kicks off with a guided 3-to-7-mile mellow kayak or canoe tour – depending on water levels - down the winding tree-lined Shenandoah River.
Nestled in lush wilderness of the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, the river is encircled by the sprawling Blue Ridge Mountains. Deer, otters and beaver are often spotted along and beyond the shoreline,
while there are plenty of Blue Herons, Egrets and Osprey on the water - and an occasional Bald Eagle overhead. Refuel with a tasty fried chicken, potato salad, and fresh fruit picnic after the trip.
Upon arriving at the award-winning Bloomery Plantation Distilllery,
thirsty paddlers join a Hooch Guru for a tongue tapping taste of five of the distillery’s cordials, such as Original Limoncello, Raspberry Limoncello, Cremma Lemma, Lemon Ice and
Dark Chocolate Raspberry liquor, which are paired with sweet treats and “great storytelling.”
Following a guided tour of the farm, which is peppered with lemon trees and raspberry shrubs, it’s time to chill out in the shady picnic area listening to live music.
For $4, you can purchase refreshing ice tea, lemonade or – childhood favorite – a Slushie, which can be spiked with each guest’s favorite handcrafted hooch.
