Graves Mountain Farm and Lodges is a rural retreat located in Syria, Virginia. The property includes lodges and an 1800‑acre farm that hosts outdoor recreation, hands‑on workshops, and seasonal events led by local instructors. Programming spans guided Blue Trail hikes, fly fishing lessons, partner dancing, yoga, painting and multiple craft workshops. Tim Lewis leads guided hikes across orchards, rivers and forested mountain trails, and provides fly‑fishing guidance on scenic ponds and rivers. Judy and Bobby Chiles teach partner dancing with Hoe‑down and country partner dancing sessions suitable for families and beginners. Jenn Mintz offers one‑hour yoga and meditation sessions appropriate for all ages and experience levels. Creative workshops include wreath making with Sandra Kechter (three‑hour sessions crafting deco mesh, burlap or grapevine wreaths), soap making with Laura Goley of Swallowtail Ridge (including herbal tea and instruction in medicinal plant uses), and soapmaking with Jennifer Harris of Cornerstone Lavender (small‑batch, take‑home soap). Lou Messa leads a 5.5‑hour acrylic landscape workshop with personalized mentorship in a small group setting. Many experiences provide supplies and equipment, and several explicitly welcome beginners—dance sessions note "no experience necessary," and workshops emphasize take‑home projects. Visitors choose from short classes (one to two hours) and longer creative sessions, enjoying practical instruction and outdoor exploration within the farm’s diverse natural landscape. Reservations and detailed event listings are available through the farm’s public schedule for each offering. The location in Syria, Virginia provides access for travelers exploring the Blue Ridge region and central Shenandoah Valley.
