Wintertime at The Greenbrier

Nestled in the breathtaking Allegheny Mountains, The Greenbrier presents a most memorable and magical winter season as Wintertime comes to life at America’s Resort™. Families and friends will enjoy an exciting collection of indoor and outdoor adventures, mingled with seasonal foods, wines and entertainment, every weekend from Jan. 5 through Mar. 18, 2018.

The glamorous ambiance of the iconic Dorothy Draper interiors surrounded by the mesmerizing vistas of the lush 11,000-acre resort, meld together to create a spellbinding Wintertime experience.

Outdoor, horse-drawn sleigh rides transport blanket-wrapped guests through the storied grounds. Miles of mountain trails call for invigorating nature hikes, off-road ATV excursions, skiing at Winterplace Ski Resort and more.

The evenings sparkle bright with live performances featuring ventriloquists, comedians and magicians, as well as a nightly Champagne waltz in the resort’s private Casino Club. Nearly 20 restaurants and lounges provide endless dining options from fine to casual, including the new Café Carleton featuring high-end and top-shelf wines and spirits accompanied with live piano music and show tunes.
