In French, Belvoir means “beautiful views” and we know you’ll agree that this historic site fits the name perfectly. If the stunning scenery isn’t enough to get you amped up for a visit, then maybe the winery’s endless stories of ghosts and hauntings will help you start packing. Whether you visit for the day to order their locally made wines or book a room in their third-floor inn and stay for the night…we guarantee you’ll have an experience to remember. While you’re at Belvoir, taste their Boo’s wine.
