Your Guide to Romance in Yorktown

In lieu of Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we just had to put together a few locations and activities that set the scene for a perfect romantic getaway for you and your loved one here in Yorktown.

The Romantic Dinner 

• There is no doubt that the riverfront is the perfect backdrop when it comes to romance. The Riverwalk Restaurant boasts truly incredible fare in an ideal open atmosphere, with front-seat views of the York River and the George P. Coleman bridge (a beautiful sight when lit at night). Sit indoors if it’s chilly, or outside on the patio right beside the river!

Picturesque Backgrounds

• Yorktown Beach and the rest of the Historic Parkway beaches offer gorgeous natural scenery, often untouched and unpopulated year-round. It is easy to find a secluded spot for a picnic or a walk along the water.
• The ruins original church at Jamestown Settlement have withstood the elements for almost four centuries, and the space, which is open to the public, holds a very special energy within its walls. Many a wedding (and a proposal!) have happened at the church. Just look at that view!

Romantic Adventures

• Take a sunset cruise on the York River: Is there anything more romantic than a sunset cruise? While you scan the water for dolphins and osprey as you glide along the shores of the York River, you will cruise past the Victory Monument and Battlefield where our country won its independence.

• Spend an afternoon at the Williamsburg Winery: after an incredible lunch at Gabriel Archer Tavern   on the winery grounds, enjoy a tasting of some of Virginia’s finest wine around.
