Frolic in the Meadowlark Botanical Gardens
Gardens ooze classic romance. Live your enchanting fairytale dreams while you explore these lovely gardens, with flowers blooming year-round. From botanical beauty to chirping birds and swimming Koi, this attraction has the perfect elements for a magical day. Don't forget to check out the Korean Bell Garden while you're there!
Enjoy a Cabin Getaway
Virginia has tons of unique and gorgeous cabin rentals to offer, perfect for a romantic getaway! This is a wonderful opportunity to disconnect from everyday life and immerse yourself in nature. Embrace what the world around you has to offer in an intimate setting with the one you love.
Go Wine Tasting
Wine has got to be one of the most romantic drinks. Why not spend V-Day enjoying one of Virginia's many wineries? Different wineries have different views and unique setups that make them extra special. A winery visit can also be educational as you learn about the wines and the process of making them. Don't forget to pick up a bottle (or two) to bring home as a souvenir!
Spend Time at Lake Anne
Have fun lakeside this Valentine's Day. Lake Anne is more than just a lake. There are local shops, restaurants, and more to explore in the area. There is also a special Swing, an art piece tucked away that makes for a lovely romantic moment while enjoying the lake. The Van Gogh Bridge is yet another charming and picturesque location by the serene lake.
Experience the Serenity of Sandbridge Beach
Though it's probably too cold for a dip in the ocean in February, unless you live for a cold plunge, Sandbridge Beach is a gorgeous place to spend time. It's a little more peaceful than the other beaches in the area, making it perfect for a romantic time. Still, it's only about 30 minutes from the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. If you're a particularly adventurous and nature-loving couple, you can even camp at False Cape State Park. Snuggle up in a tent by the water this Valentine's Day for a unique lovey-dovey time. Just be aware that reservations are required and you must receive a confirmation letter to camp there.
