Where to go on a date in Virginia

Richmond’s Carytown is a walkable strip of local restaurants, shops and character that makes for an effortless outing.

In Charlottesville, the downtown mall has dining, live music and bookshops, and the nearby wineries along the Monticello Wine Trail add a scenic, relaxed option for an afternoon together.
