A Romantic Fredericksburg Getaway
Fredericksburg does romance quietly and well — sunset views over the vineyards, a candlelit German or farm-to-table dinner, and a guesthouse where the loudest thing is the crickets.
Here are the intimate tasting rooms, the date-night tables, and the couples' stays. Tell Fritz your dates and he'll turn it into an unforgettable two days.
