It is always fun when Valentine’s Day falls as part of the three day President’s Day weekend. It’s the perfect excuse to grab your sweetheart and head to Williamsburg for a romantic weekend! Here are our picks for the most romantic things to do in this charming southern town.
Romantic Outing: Spend an afternoon at the Williamsburg Winery for a tour of the vineyards and tasting of their award-winning wines. While you are there enjoy a romantic, and perfectly paired, lunch at the Gabriel Archer Tavern as recommended by the NY Times. Romantic Relaxation: Enjoy a couple’s massage at the Spa at Colonial Williamsburg. Rated by Conde Nast as one of the best spas in the country, you will enjoy luxurious treatments in the unique setting of a
repurposed Colonial building with low lighting that only makes the experience more romantic.
Romantic Hotel: Kingsmill Resort inspires romance all around with elegant rooms and suites, many with stunning water views of the James River. Snuggle in and order room service for breakfast and take advantage of the resort’s many amenities including three championship golf courses, state of the art spa and exceptional restaurants.
Romantic Dinner: You can’t beat the Regency Room at the Williamsburg Inn for timeless elegance. With Impeccable service, live music softly playing in the background, and an award-winning wine list you can spend the evening lingering over delectable cuisine or dance the night away under the stars.
Romantic Gifts: It is always nice to have a little something to give as part of any romantic getaway. For one of a kind gifts that can only be found locally, head to Merchant’s Square where you will find locally owned specialty boutiques and galleries. Be sure to stop by Wythe Candy Store, after all nothing says love like handmade chocolate!
Romantic View: If you are able to visit in the midst of summer, be sure to catch the nightly fireworks at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Views inside the park are stunning from the bridge that connects the Germany and Italy sections of the park. If you don’t plan to purchase Busch Gardens tickets during your visit, you can still enjoy the fireworks each evening from the Colonial Parkway where the park’s show can be seen above the James River. What’s not romantic about
that?!
