Valentine’s Day Fun in Williamsburg

Sure, it’s cold outside, and the world can feel pretty dark at this time of year. But to us, that just means there’s even more reason to stand up this Valentine’s Day and show love and appreciation to your special someone—whether that’s a partner, boyfriend, girlfriend, or best friend! No matter how you decide to celebrate, here are a few ideas for a day of romance with Valentine’s Day fun in Williamsburg.

Do something romantic.

Nothing makes us feel more special than being whisked away for a weekend trip! Don’t forget: location matters. We believe the cozy cottages at King’s Creek Plantation are some of the most romantic places in Williamsburg, VA. Experience the luxury of a resort with cozy fireplaces, private decks and jetted bathtubs. The best news? This is only the beginning.

Do something sweet.

Most months, you can pick up fresh produce and other goodies at the outdoor farmers market, but a great substitute in wintertime is Yorktown’s Winter Market at Riverwalk Landing on Saturday, February 12 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. Besides locally grown and crafted products, you’ll find delicious fresh produce, meat, baked goods and sweet treats! Bring it all back to your kitchen at the Cottages, Townes or Estates, get the fireplace roaring, and have a romantic evening together at home!

Do something traditional.

So simple and yet so compatible, movies and snacks have been going strong as a couple for decades. Thankfully, Williamsburg is home to the Movie Tavern, an in-theater dining service experience featuring chef-driven menus, premium quality food and drink and luxurious seating for a transformational movie going experience. Take your honey to see the latest hit movie – there are plenty of choices to suit every taste!

Do something unique.

Years ago, love-struck young men published acrostic poems in the Virginia Gazette, spelling out their beloveds’ names and finest qualities. Although writing poetry is certainly not required, it is important to work with the unique characteristics and hobbies of your beloved. Maybe that means bundling up for a turn on the ice or an old-fashioned carriage ride through Colonial Williamsburg. You can even stop at one of Merchants Square’s shops and pick up a gift for any budget, from candy to fine jewelry. 

We hope you enjoy these ideas for Valentine’s Day fun in Williamsburg! Whatever you decide to do for the object of your affection, make it unforgettable… and may your love continue happily ever after!
