Why they chose this property
Outdoor Activities: “Virginia is for Lovers” isn’t our state’s motto for nothing. Rent a kayak or canoe, take a tour on the Jamestown Discovery, sail down the York River with Schooners Alliance & Serenity or stop by for a Paddle Yoga sweat sesh with Paddle On Williamsburg. More of a land lover? Conquer the Virginia Capital Trail, 52 mi that connects the Commonwealth's past and present capitals of Jamestown and Richmond, or walk in the footsteps of Native Americans and colonists on the Greensprings Greenway Interpretive Trail.
Culinary Hotspots: There's no shortage of delicious restaurants. Whether you’re looking for modern dining from renowned chefs, a chance to travel back in time at a colonial-era tavern or casual eateries like family-friendly bakeries, cafes and delis, you’ll find amazing options to indulge your inner foodie.
Local Drinkeries: Greater Williamsburg is home to the Williamsburg Tasting Trail, local breweries, distilleries and wineries that offer a unique perspective into the Virginia beverage scene. Between fun events like Yoga and a Pint, handmade rum like it would’ve been made in 1720 or tastings with historic, honey-based mead.
Endless Education: Immersing yourself into the many fun, historical sites our area offers! See what life was like for 18th century Americans at Colonial Williamsburg, explore re-creations of America’s first permanent English colony at Jamestown Settlement, watch in real-time as archaeologists excavate James Fort at Historic Jamestowne and appreciate America’s fight (and victory!) for independence at Yorktown Battlefield and the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown.
Top Notch Thrills: Home to Busch Gardens Williamsburg: Ride a roller coaster, see a show and don’t forget to mark your calendars for Food & Wine Festival, Howl-O-Scream, Christmas Town or one of the park’s other fun events. Still looking for more? Stop by Go-Karts Plus for mini golf, kiddie coasters, bumper cars, arcade games and of course, go-karts!
