GROCERY STORES

If you would like to stock up with groceries after leaving home, but before coming to the mountain, here are the places I recommend.

Places to shop nearest Wintergreen:

The Market at Wintergreen Resort – Located only 1.5 miles from our home, this is the closest grocery store only open until 5:30pm so plan ahead.

It has:

• a small wine selection
• a few fresh fruits and vegetables delivered every few days
• small selection of locally made breads
• fresh brewed coffee
• a deli with terrific made to order sandwiches hot/cold
• made to order pizza
• deli selection of meats and cheeses from Boar’s Head
• necessities including, cereal, milk, vegetable etc..

Do not plan to get meat, chicken etc… this is more grab and go or s’mores supplies!

Blue Ridge Grocery – Located at 2797 Rockfish Valley Hwy Nellysford, VA 22958, 12 miles from our house, about 20 minutes

This store is on the smaller side. It is a local store, not a grocery chain, so their choices are not extensive, but adequate. I only shop here if I have forgotten something and the Wintergreen Market does not carry it. I would rather shop in Waynesboro 30 minutes away!

On the way to Wintergreen

Martin’s Food – Located at 437 Tiffany Drive Waynesboro, VA 22980, 19 miles from our house, about 36 minutes. I stop here when I drive via I-81 and 1-64.

This is a huge store. It will have everything you will need!

Specialty:

Foods of All Nations – 2121 Ivy Road Charlottesville, VA 22903, 43 miles from our house, about 54 minutes

This is a good place to stop and shop if you are coming by way of Charlottesville. They have some unique items and a great wine selection. This is more of a Whole Foods experience, not Safeway. You will pay a bit of a premium. Stop at the gelato/coffee bar on your way in!

• Nice fruits and vegetables
• Olive oil from France
• Fresh sushi made in house
• Butcher
• Deli – also with ready made items to reheat
