A Premise
You've heard Virginia is for Lovers. We think that sells it short. Virginia doesn't just welcome lovers — it makes them. Out of skeptics, weekend planners, first-timers, and people who didn't know what they were missing.
A campaign to make lovers of the Commonwealth of Virginia
Came for a long weekend. Started looking at houses on Sunday.
I don't know what they put in the oysters, but I'm ruined for everywhere else.
We hiked in strangers. We drove home a family.
Hiking
FoodVirginia Makes Lovers of Food.
Oysters from eight distinct regions. Farm tables you'll daydream about. Bourbon, biscuits, and bread that took someone all day.
Sit at the table
ExcitementVirginia Makes Lovers of Excitement.
Whitewater on the James. Kings Dominion at full tilt. A coastline that hands you a different kind of thrill.
Get your hands wet
QuietVirginia Makes Lovers of Quiet.
A porch at dusk. A river that doesn't need anything from you. The kind of nothing you didn't know you missed.
Hear it for yourself
Some places you visit.
Others, you fall for.
P.S. Bring someone. Or come alone and bring back someone new.
