Virginia Innkeepers Offer a Montpelier Getaway

Montpelier, the home of President James Madison, offers a variety of tours and special programs throughout the year. The staff at this historic treasure has joined with local innkeepers to create the Montpelier Excursion Packages, which combine tours of the home with fine local accommodations.

The Holladay House Bed and Breakfast in historic downtown Orange is one of the excellent Virginia inns that you can select. This historic home, built in 1830, has been restored and decorated to reflect both the home\’s 19th-century charm as well as all the romance one expects at a fine bed and breakfast.

There are several romantic guest rooms and suites, many with amenities such as a fireplace, double whirlpool tub or a private patio. Luxurious linens, fluffy towels and soft robes are among the other amenities that will leave you feeling pampered and content. The innkeepers prepare a delectable full breakfast each morning, a perfect start to a day exploring Montpelier, which is just five minutes away.

After choosing your inn, choose a schedule of events at Montpelier. There are several different packages for you to enjoy. The Montpelier Wine Weekend includes three days of fun and two nights at the inn. You\’ll enjoy wine tastings at six local wineries, as well as a full tour of Montpelier. This package also includes dinners at fine, local restaurants.

Other fun options are the History Weekend and History Weekday packages, which also are three-day, two-night trips. These packages include lodging, dinners and a tour of Montpelier including the mansion and grounds. The Dig in Style package is another option, perfect for those who have a little more time. This 7-day, 6-night package includes all your lodging, dinners, box lunches and tours of Montpelier, as well as special dinners with the Archaeology staff at Montpelier.
