Gather the Girls For a Fabulous Richmond Getaway

Treat yourself and your best girlfriends to a stellar Richmond getaway. Whether you want to hit the mall, indulge at the spa or light up the town, the Richmond Region offers a brilliant array of activities and fun.

Let’s start with the shopping. Short Pump Town Center features Nordstrom, Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel -- while Stony Point Fashion Park specializes in high-end retailers such as Saks Fifth Avenue and Louis Vuitton. Looking for something a bit more unique, funky and local? Check out the “Mile of Style” Carytown –boasting nine blocks of boutiques, cafés, quirky stores and home furnishings. And the Shops of Libbie & Grove On the Avenues offer fashions, decor and one-of-a-kind gifts.

Finding great deals can wear you out, so indulge in a bit of pampering at an area spa. Get a massage at the Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spa at Short Pump Town Center, enjoy a facial treatment at downtown’s Nesbit or have your hair done at Salon del Sol, an Aveda spa in Chesterfield.

Ready for a girls’ night out? Raise your glass at Martini Kitchen and Bubble Bar -- home to 85 martinis and dozens of champagne cocktails. Then head downtown to Bank, a cool, modern night spot in a renovated, turn-of-the-century bank.

Are you and your friends foodies? Enjoy sophisticated tea at the Jefferson or a fun ladies’ lunch at Cuppa Tea. Want a truly unique menu? Cous Cous is funky with great tapas for sharing, and Edible Garden serves almost all locally grown food.

Fabulous wine can also be enjoyed around the Region. River City Cellars in Carytown offers tastings. Wine Lovers, Strawberry Street Vineyard, Once Upon a Vine and The Wine Cellar -- to name a few – sell vintages sure to please even the most discriminating oenophiles. The James River Wine Festival and Carytown Wine Festival feature the best wines Virginia has to offer. And if you want to get even closer to the vine, visit the James River Cellars Winery and New Kent Winery.
