Get Your Wine Fix While Playing a Round of Golf Amongst the Picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains

There's a growing relationship between wine and golf. Once upon a time you might fill a flask, fit a small cooler in your golf bag and bring as many beers as you can fit. Nowadays, it's more and more common to see sneaky bottles of wine finding their ways in golf bags along with impressive stems and wine glasses out on the links. Can you imagine a better way to spend your Memorial Day than sipping wine and walking a stunning golf course set along one of the most magical mountain ranges on earth?

Virginia’s award-winning adventure retreat Primland, Auberge Resorts Collection , is proud to announce the inaugural Highland Golf and Wine Classic , a celebration of exceptional golf, wine, and epicurean experiences in the idyllic Blue Ridge Mountains.
