Afton is a small community in Nelson County, Virginia. It's located about 20 miles west of Charlottesville and is at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. It's also very close to the George Washington National Forest. These and the number of small ponds and rivers in the area give the outdoor enthusiast plenty of things to do during their stay in Afton.

Le Bleu Ridge

Le Bleu Ridge is located in the Page House estate, a pre-Civil War landmark (it was built in 1840) located in the heart of Nelson County. From the property, visitors have a breathtaking view of Blue Ridge's Humpback Mountain. The estate has rooms as well as individual cottages, and also features a wine tasting room that showcases the Flying Fox Vineyard Vintages. Le Bleu Ridge is close to the Appalachian Trail, Blue Ridge Parkway and the Shenandoah National Park.
