Christmas lights are one of the most magical parts of the holiday season. All of a sudden, for a few short months (if we’re lucky), our neighborhoods and communities turn into glowing, sparkling holiday villages. But driving up and down streets isn’t the only way to take in the majesty of the season’s Christmas lights. If you’re looking for a great place to see some Charlottesville Christmas lights, you’re definitely going to want to check out Boar’s Head Resort’s incredible Winter Wander event.
Boar’s Head Resort is a beautiful luxury resort that celebrates the beauty of nature, warm hospitality, and tradition. When you treat yourself to a stay at Boar’s Head Resort, you get so much more than accommodations. Your luxury guest room will be equipped with modern amenities and decorated with touches of Southern charm.
Enjoy their network of nature trails or other onsite amenities like their racquet club, pickleball courts, and luxurious spa. As a AAA four-diamond country resort, they blend “classic with contemporary, refined with casual, tranquil with dynamic.” What you’ll experience is relaxation, peace of mind, and bliss.
One of Boar’s Head Resort’s most celebrated traditions is its Winter Wander. This trail of Christmas magic is on display every year for families, couples, and friends to enjoy. Begin your adventure by walking through their festive 35-foot Welcome Tree before being transported to a world of amazement. You’ll experience an extraordinary palette of bright colors and twinkling lights as you walk.
Dogwood Alley plays homage to Virginia’s state flower with a beautifully lit garden. Firefly Grove makes you feel like you’re walking through a field of floating fireflies. Serenity Way illuminates a grove of beautiful trees into a canvas of color unlike anything you’ve ever seen. There are so many other sweet exhibits that you’ll have to see for yourself. Lastly, Finale Field is the show-stopping end to your journey – but I won’t give away its magic so you can enjoy it in person.
Once you’ve completed the trail, you can mingle at The Market, which will be selling a variety of holiday treats and treasures for you to enjoy. Pick up a s’mores kit to roast marshmallows over a fire pit, or enjoy a mouthwatering pizza from Millstone Pizza Kitchen. There’s plenty of wine and other beverages to enjoy, too, perfect for staying cozy and warm on those cool winter evenings.
When you visit Boar’s Head Resort for Winter Wander, you’ll definitely want to check out their ice rink! Try skating – no matter the weather – with their synthetic-surfaced ice rink. The sun can shine down on the rink, and you can still skate the afternoon away! The surface is made from a unique plastic polymer that imitates how ice interacts with a skate blade.
Skating is an extra fee from your Winter Wander admission. Still, it is worth the price for the holiday magic it will assuredly evoke. Bring your own skates or rent them at the resort!
