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. The Virginia Museum of Fine Arts is free, impressive and offers art and conversation in equal measure. 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. Virginia Beach’s boardwalk is perfect for a sunset walk with ocean views. In Shenandoah National Park, a drive along Skyline Drive delivers mountain vistas that turn any day into a special occasion.
