If you’re moving to Virginia you should know that there’s a lot to do here outside the world of unpacking boxes and setting up your Direct TV. Here are a few high-brow activities you should make a beeline for when you first get to the Old Dominion.
Vineyard Tours: Virginia was the first wine region in the country and for good reason. With temperate climates and great growing landscapes, Virginian wine is deemed some of the best in the US. Take a full-day wine tour or map out a vineyard list on your own.
Monticello: If you’re anywhere near Charlottesville you’ll love the quaint charm and all the history here. If you make the trip you’re going to have to spend a half-day at Monticello where you can marvel in the vision of Thomas Jefferson, one of the nation’s founders.
Shenandoah Valley: If natural beauty is more your thing than architecture, make for a weekend in the Valley to get back to the land. You can camp if you’d like but if you prefer there are a number of world-class bed and breakfasts available in this area, too.
