Virginia Holiday Experiences

This December, treat your family to hot cocoa and drives to see millions of brilliant lights. Or perhaps a cozy cabin getaway with fireside chats and brisk outdoor fun is your speed. Get great holiday decorating ideas when you tour Virginia’s historic homes donned in their finest greenery and glitz. Presidential homes like Mount Vernon and Monticello sparkle with period trimmings during candlelight tours while private homes open their doors to showcase modern day holiday decor.

Whatever you choose will be perfect because you’re in it together, and together is where LOVE lives.
