Restored church with guided tours and a small interactive museum. Presents a view of early colonial life and times on the great neck of Virginia and information on the Carter Family and their extensive holdings. Must see if you are into architecture or history

Reviewed By CBW47 - Yorktown, VA
We spent a fascinating hour here learning about the Chesapeake Bay's past with steamboat travel, both for passengers and cargo. The knowledgeable docent gave us a brief introductory tour, then left us on our own to watch videos, look at exquisitely detailed models, read info about steamboat building and individual captains. It was well worth the $5 admission charge.

The Dog and Oyster is an extraordinary vineyard owned by The Hope and Glory Inn. Come sip some of America's best wine and savor the world's best oysters on site.
Reviewed By Sue S - Charlottesville, Virginia
There are so many great things to say about The Dog and Oyster Vineyard. The setting is anything but pretentious! The hosts, Peggy and Dudley Patteson, along with their entire staff make everyone feel welcome and taken care of. Delicious wines along with AMAZING food prepared by Bryan Byrd, owner/operator of Byrd's Seafood Co. make this a "must go to" anytime you're on the Northern Neck. Let me tell you ~ I know soft shell crabs and Bryan prepares them better than any I've ever eaten! Additionally, his oysters are sublime ~ just about any way you like 'em, including tacos! The food and wine pairing are perfect. Sitting out under umbrellas, sipping wine, and enjoying a bite to eat is delightful and just too civilized in a world gone bonkers! Cheers! Proost! Na zdravi! Egészségére! À votre santé! Salute! Prost! Na zdrowie! Salud!
6. Golden Eagle Golf Club

Reviewed By Coyote88 - Cheshire
We were introduced to the Golden Eagle by a 'local' and what a delightful parkland course this is. The course boasts many bunkers and a number of holes with water hazards but is a fair challenge to all levels of golfers. The tee areas, fairways and greens are well kept and 'true' but one minor quibble was the 'concrete' nature of the bunkers. But this did not spoil the day. I would recommend this course to anybody near Irvington.

Each treatment is designed to pamper, nourish and feed your mind, body and soul...with a variety of spa packages and treatments ranging from massages and facials to body treatments and specialty offerings.
Reviewed By HilaireH116 - Alexandria, Virginia
We have been visiting the Tides Inn for about 5 years now, and I always try to leave time for a massage and/or pedicure at the spa. The spa has a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere, and offers a variety of delicious herbal teas for you to enjoy either before or after your treatment. The spa consistently hires very competent staff, who provide soothing facials, relaxing massages and gentle pedicures. If you book a massage, you have a choice between a male or female therapist, and in my experience, the therapists are careful to discuss your preferences, concerns and medical issues before beginning any massage. I especially recommend the hot stone massage for stiff and/or sore back muscles. The spa's prices are on the high side, but usually worth it. The spa also features an attractive gift shop with various skin products, books on meditation, music CDs, clothing and jewelry. This spa is one of my most favorite places to relax and pamper myself!

Definitely worth a step in even if you do not drink wine.Thank you very much for your lovely review!

Patricio is the best masseuse I've ever had, hands down. A retired veterinarian, he knows anatomy, muscle structure from the inside out, and has no hesitancy of completely massaging every muscle deeply and thoroughly, with inventive use of the hot stones. He's responsive to what the client wants and has extremely strong muscles himself to deliver the level of massage as he does. And there was no solicitation at all (to buy oils, etc). If I lived closer, I'd have a standing appointment at least weekly with him.
