Things To Do
Colonial Williamsburg
Colonial Williamsburg is a charming “living museum” with cobblestone streets, horse-drawn carriages, and 18th-century buildings. Stroll along Duke of Gloucester Street, tour the Governor’s Palace, or take a walk through the beautiful gardens. If you prefer something more low-key, there are boutiques, cafes, breweries, and wineries in nearby Merchants Square — all just steps from the Williamsburg Inn!
Virginia Wineries
Virginia is home to many amazing wineries, and several are just a short drive from the Williamsburg Inn — including Williamsburg Winery, New Kent Winery, Gauthier Vineyard, and Saude Creek Vineyards. If you don't have a car for the weekend, the Williamsburg Winery also has a tasting room located right on Duke of Gloucester Street in Colonial Williamsburg.
Golf
Williamsburg has several great golf courses if you’re looking to spend some time on the green. Options include the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club (on the grounds of the Williamsburg Inn!) as well as Kingsmill, Williamsburg National, and Kiskiak.
Jamestown Settlement
There are two ways to experience Jamestown, which is located just a 15 minute drive from the Williamsburg Inn: Jamestown Settlement – This living museum features full-scale replicas of the original English ships, a reconstructed fort, and a Powhatan village. Historic Jamestowne – This is the actual site of the first permanent English settlement in America. Archaeological remains, the original church tower, and a museum offer a look at the real history behind the colony.
Busch Gardens
Busch Gardens is only a 10-minute drive from the Williamsburg Inn and offers roller coasters, kid-friendly rides, live shows and lots of food options.
