When a state is also known as the Mother of States, Mother of Presidents, or Old Dominion, you know it will provide your clients with the mother of all trips! Virginia is a perfect addition to any USA itinerary for so many reasons, and Viva Holidays have bundled those reasons together in a selection of epic packages.
Conveniently located across the river from Washington, D.C., and only a few hours on an easy train ride from New York City, Virginia is a perfect addition to any East Coast adventure or for your clients planning a road trip to the South.
These new Viva Holidays packages tap into the state’s essence, past and present, offering culturally rich experiences and breathtaking landscapes around every bend.
Virginia is for Lovers
Whether your clients love mountains, rivers, beaches, history, or wine, Virginia delivers. It’s a place where every day feels like an ode to something lovely!
V is for history lovers
For history aficionados, the iconic landmarks at Colonial Williamsburg, Mount Vernon, and the Jamestown Settlement – famous for being the first permanent settlement in America – are sure to impress.
The Mother of States (named for its role in forming multiple other states across the country) also has the nickname, Mother of Presidents. This comes from eight US presidents – including Washington, Jefferson, and Madison – being VA locals!
V is for nature lovers
Perhaps it’s Virginia’s scenic beauty that has inspired all those presidents! Shenandoah National Park wows with its winding Skyline Drive and expansive pristine vistas.
You’ll also want to recommend time on the Blue Ridge Parkway, especially in autumn when the scenic lookouts are mesmerising with fall foliage.
For those who go starry-eyed at a beautiful golden stretch of coast, there are ample beaches that do not disappoint.
V is for foodie lovers
For gourmands, Virginia goes out of its way to help visitors indulge. From nature’s finest oysters and seafood to regional specialities like peanut soup (George Washington’s fave) and Brunswick stew, tastebuds are set alight.
There are also nearly 400 wineries – many award-winning – across eight distinct regions, plus a raft of creative craft breweries and distilleries.
