Winter Trail

Snowshoe, cross-country ski, or hike the best of Brys Estate this winter. Our 1-1.5 mile Winter Trail allows guests to experience acres of snowy vineyards, resting lavender fields, and quiet wooded valleys – all while keeping warm with wine or seasonal offerings. Open daily now through March, while weather permits.

Winter Trail Details

The Green Trail is a casual 1-mile loop that starts at the tasting room and traverses through scenic vineyard vistas, past the Brys family farmhouse, and back. Add on the Purple Trail, an intermediate trail, to enjoy an additional ½ mile trek through wooded valleys to the Secret Garden at Brys Estate’s snow-covered lavender fields before reconnecting with the Green Trail.

Please note that the trail is not groomed and equipment is not provided.

No reservations required! If you wish to enjoy a fire pit and is not lit at your arrival, please see a Brys Estate staff member inside the tasting room for assistance.

Dog Policy

Dogs are permitted on the Winter Trail and around the fire pits, but must remain leashed. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.
