Celebrate Fall in Virginia with Wineries, Scenic Drives & Caramel Apple French Toast

🍂 Fall is Just Around the Corner at Moonlight Manor

As the last golden days of summer slip away, there’s a sense of anticipation in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Soon, the air will turn crisp, the leaves will paint the hillsides in shades of crimson and gold, and the Blue Ridge Parkway will become one of the most breathtaking drives in the country. Fall is almost here, and we couldn’t be more excited at Moonlight Manor Bed and Breakfast.

Autumn in Floyd, Virginia, is a season like no other. The vineyards at Chateau Morrisette and Villa Appalaccia are alive with harvest celebrations, the Floyd Country Store fills with toe-tapping music, and the trails nearby invite you to take in the views under a canopy of brilliant color. Add in cool mountain breezes, cozy evenings by the fire, and skies so clear you can count the stars, and it’s easy to see why fall is one of our favorite times of year.

And of course, fall wouldn’t be complete without something warm and delicious from the kitchen. This season, we’re sharing a guest favorite: Caramel Apple French Toast Bake. Bursting with the flavors of crisp apples, cinnamon, and a drizzle of homemade caramel, this recipe brings together everything we love about fall mornings—comfort, sweetness, and the joy of gathering at the breakfast table. It’s the perfect way to start a day of exploring the mountains or simply savoring the quiet beauty from our wraparound porch.

If you’re planning your autumn getaway, there’s no better time to visit. Whether you’re hiking trails, sipping wine, or just soaking in the views, Moonlight Manor offers the perfect retreat. And when you wake up to the aroma of fall-inspired breakfasts like this, you’ll see why a bed and breakfast experience is so much more than a hotel stay.
