Boar’s Head Resort may rest on a 1734 land grant, but Charlottesville’s historic inn exudes modern, Southern swank.
The Virginia estate recently underwent some impressive improvements, including the addition of an adventure tour company and an 18-hole Davis Love III-designed golf course. And inside the rooms, bedside touch screens buzz orders directly to The Mill Room, the most elegant of the resort’s four dining outlets.
The family pool and expansive fitness center please intergenerational travelers, but couples love the more secluded adults-only pool near The Spa at Boar’s Head, a sanctuary specializing in treatments featuring local ingredients — for those times when the Blue Ridge Mountain air just isn’t refreshing enough. Celebrants have 600 manicured acres for photo ops, including outside the Colonial revival-style Birdwood mansion, a name with ties to Thomas Jefferson. Seventeen meeting rooms and two ballrooms make get-togethers seamless yet upscale.
Be sure to explore the verdant, lake-dotted grounds (if you’re adventurous, do it in a hot-air balloon that lifts off from the property) before returning to your room for sips of Monticello AVA petit verdot.
