Enjoy A Romantic Getaway In Virginias Wine Country
The Virginia state license plates even say it “Virginia is for lovers.” With roughly 1900 Virginia romantic inns and vacation spots to choose from, you and your better half should soon learn the truth of it when you come to Old Dominion for your honeymoon or other romantic rendezvous.
The fall months are an outstandingly fine time to reserve cabin rental accommodations or stays at any one of the picturesque Virginia romantic getaways scattered over the state. One explanation is the autumn colors. As part of the country’s Eastern Woodland biome, Virginia is covered in deciduous hardwood forests which burst into glorious technicolor just about mid-September, and there is almost nothing more romantic than gazing out at the autumn foliage from your window of a lovely Virginia country inn.
The another reason is that fall will be the “off-season;” regardless which of Virginia’s five major geographic regions you happen to be stopping by, you’re certain to uncover helpful discounts on vacation rentals of all kinds.
As a final point, there is a ton of fall festivals throughout the region, ranging from celebrations for the region’s wine and cuisine to festivals of the arts and concerts as well as literary and historical commemorations. For instance, were you aware that American gothic poet Edgar Allen Poe was a native son of Virginia? As one might expect, October is “Poe Month” in Virginia. Just before Halloween, the Edgar Allen Poe Museum in Richmond hosts their annual “Unhappy Hour,” a costume party that includes a theme centered around one of Poe’s short tales (2010 was Fall Of The House of Usher). On Halloween evening, take a cemetery tour at historic St. John’s Church nearby, where Poe’s mother is buried.
If October belongs to Virginia’s best-known literary figure, November is given over to the state’s wineries as the holidays approach. Each one of Virginia’s five major regions from Chesapeake Bay to the Blue Ridge have first-rate wineries, and there are wine-tasting celebrations every weekend in November the majority of which provide superb food along with live music in combination with local vintages.
Regardless of your religious beliefs, December is one Festival of Lights after another and nowhere is this more genuine than romantic Virginia since coastal areas from Richmond to Hampton Roads throw up displays that would humble the Griswolds. The excitement begins on the weekend prior to Thanksgiving with Hampton’s Coliseum Central Holiday Parade in the south along with Norfolk’s Grand Illumination Parade further north. The party goes on for a full six weeks in the capitol city of Richmond with the GardenFest of Lights that begins at the end of November and goes on all the way until the second week of January. In the second week of December, you’ll be able to get a taste of Christmas Victorian-style at the historic Maymont Mansion. The $25 per person comprises a moonlit outing inside a horse-drawn carriage along a brightly-lit avenue towards the Civil War-era residence of a famous Confederate general not to mention a splendid tour of the mansion, carol singing and then refreshments. This romantic Christmas event is extremely well-liked, therefore make sure to sign up well ahead of time.
