Ready to see what’s in store for a lush spring weekend in Farmville? We’ve covered the details- all that’s missing is you! Here’s our guide for stepping into spring in Farmville.
Step One: Hotel Weyanoke
Enjoy a one night stay at Hotel Weyanoke: a boutique luxury hotel in the heart of Farmville that is unlike any place you’ve stayed before. Fully renovated rooms, featuring top of the line amenities- such as Kingsdown mattresses and robes, will highlight an undeniably comfortable stay. With several in-house restaurants, you’ll have multiple dining options available at your convenience. The roof area, home of Catbird Rooftop Bar, features incredible panoramic views of Longwood University and downtown Farmville. Don’t forget to bring your camera if you’re heading to the top. You may even catch a few budding green leaves.
Step Two: Three Roads Brewing
Three Roads is Farmville’s best-beloved brewery, churning out a wide range of beers from crowd-pleasers like their Top Down Lemongrass Blonde to seasonal choices, offered in rotation, such as the ever popular Drifter’s Apple Ale and Snickerdoodle Stout. With a laid-back, friendly, dog-loving atmosphere, there’s not much about Three Roads that isn’t to love. Use your tokens to sample a brew or two of your choice and best of all get a commemorative pint glass to remember the experience.
Step Three: Charley’s Waterfront Cafe
If you worked up an appetite playing cornhole or dodging giant jenga blocks at Three Roads Brewing, it might be the perfect time to make like Marlon Brando and head down “on the waterfront” to use your $50 gift certificate for a delicious dinner for two. Charley’s is a Farmville eating institution, and for good reason. They offer mouth-watering weekly dinner specials, a legendary Sunday brunch and much more. Plus, their location directly alongside the Appomattox River and wide deck makes them a perfect choice for outdoor seating (weather permitting) and a little river-watching. Perfection.
Step Four: Garnish with Sprigs of Springtime Extras
No spring getaway would be complete without a few vibrant extras. Not to fear- we’ve included those too.
It’s not too late for a touch of the Irish and certainly never too late for some good luck, considering 2020. We hope that a delicious homemade Irish soda bread from Mill Street Sweets on Main brings you both.
What could be better than bringing the spring mood home with you? This giveaway package also includes a $50 Gift Certificate to B&M Greenhouse (a local favorite) for you to select a plant of your choosing. Bring those signs of spring right into your home to tide you over to summer and fondly remind you of your weekend in Farmville.
We hope these steps will help you step into spring in Farmville. We can’t wait to see you on the other side of the vernal equinox. Here’s to shorter nights and longer days exploring Farmville together.
