Though unassuming from the outside, this place transforms you to a relaxed state as soon as you enter the doors. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist and checked in. My massage therapist was Susy and she was exceptional!! Very attentive and professional and responsive to my feedback. This massage was worth the higher cost ($90) because I go about twice a year and I’m looking for a high quality and relaxing experience! Their use of essential oils, beautifully appointed rooms, and subdued and decorative lighting make for a very transformative and therapeutic process!

Whitley's Peanut Factory

Our retail stores are open but out of concern for the health and safety of our customers and employees, we are enforcing social distancing, requiring masks, and have suspended product sampling. Curbside pickup is available but please call ahead. Whitley's "Home-Cooked" peanuts have a wonderful, crunchy freshness and distinctive flavor because our peanuts are still made the old-fashioned way-hand cooked, slowly roasted to perfection. For over 34 years, Whitley's Peanut Factory has been producing the finest quality gourmet Virginia peanuts and peanut candies on the market. We have three retail stores in Williamsburg, Gloucester, and Richmond, VA.

Great shop. The nuts are delicious and there is a variety to please every palate. The man in the shop was very helpful and very knowledgeable about all of the products and provided information that helped me to make my selections.

Friendly staff, well laid out store that is easy to shop with products presented well in a clean environment. Produce and meats are far better than the other chain stores. You can find some cheaper prices if you don't shop their sales, but the quality is worth the difference!

James River Cellars Winery

We are a family-owned and operated farm winery, located just north of Richmond VA. A refreshing change from the ordinary! Our staff serves a tasting of wines from whites to delicious reds and dessert wines in a tranquil country setting. Enjoy a picnic on our beautifully landscaped patio or capture the view from the terrace. James Batterson, winemaker, creates all wines from Virginia grown grapes.

Great wine and a wonderful staff!! Close to I-95. A great selection of White, Red and Sweet wines. If it's the holiday season remember to try the Real Santa Red and Snowy White. If you are unsure, the staff will help you choose a great wine based on your drinking preference. James River Cellar Winery is a great location for a picnic. Fire Pits when the weather is cold and they also have a great space inside. Worth a stop to enjoy some great wine!

I love that my kids can still enjoy it, and that they are taking safety precautions, temp checks, and cleaning. Kids can still have fun here. when they're not busy sometimes I jump with the kids too.

Took our grandson (2) while we were visiting from NC. He had a blast with all the hands on learning opportunities. Especially the car garage, fifties dinner, shopping make believe in Wegmans grocery store and of course the big red tractor. Two hours went by fast. Don't miss a opportunity to visit when in Richmond, highly recommend it !
