While Williamsburg is generally regarded as a link to our nation’s past with attractions that include Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown, the area can also provide a pristine, present day view of the East coast that is equally as impressive as the old world charm it is noted for. From merely admiring the beautiful countryside to exploring state-of-the-art attractions, there’s plenty for the modern day traveler to enjoy in Williamsburg.
Williamsburg Winery Reserve Tour & Tasting
The Williamsburg Winery may be steeped in the old world feel that Williamsburg is best known for, but has carried great wine right into the 21st century. The 320 acre vineyard produces a variety of wines including Chardonnay, Cabernet, Sauvignon, Seyval, Merlot and Vidal for an extensive look at wine and wine production. From visiting the vineyards to the reserve cellars, visiting the Williamsburg Winery offers a unique look into how classic practices have carried into modern times.
Spirit of Norfolk Dinner Cruise
The Spirit of Norfolk Dinner Cruise offers an elegant evening of dining, entertainment and dancing in nearby Norfolk. You’ll cruise the Elizabeth River and Hampton Roads Harbor along your night on the water for the ability to take in a touch of sightseeing as well. A buffet including beef, poultry, seafood, vegetables, salads and deserts offer a delicious spread for dinner, while you’ll be treated to both a live musical revue and the chance to get on your feet with a live DJ afterwards.
Showcasing a 300,000 gallon aquarium, ¾ mile habitat trail featuring animals in their natural environment, hands-on opportunities and six planetarium shows, the Virginia Living Museum is a truly modern wildlife experience. You’ll be able to experience a wide breadth of both land and sea animals throughout the modern attraction that has been considered part aquarium, science center, aviary, botanical preserve and planetarium.
