There’s nothing like a gift of time together to show someone they have special place in your heart. In fact, shared experiences rank high as favorite gifts to give and receive. And since they’re best enjoyed together, creating memories with your favorite someone are double the fun!
In the Greenbrier Valley, there are dozens of ways to give a gift of time together. Here are a few to get you thinking.
1. Put your feet up at the Pomona Salt Cave and Spa and Zen out in the man-made cave lined with restorative Himalayan salt. Its salt-infused air and the many resort-style spa services give new meaning to the word relaxation.
2. Hit the road with Greenbrier Off-Road Adventures or WVRoadster.com. West Virginia is known for its backcountry roads, and the valley is no exception. Get the most out of your scenic mountain tour by reserving a corner-defying Polaris SlingShot or Vanderhall Venice Roadster for you and your favorite someone. It redefines “out for a Sunday drive.”
3. At Lost World Caverns, descend below the earth’s surface 120 feet to witness an underground marvel of colossal proportions. Tickets for the self-guided tour cover a half-mile loop of colorful lights highlighting actively growing stalactites, stalagmites and other rock formations. Or how about a mud treatment together? It's not your typical spa day—the wild cave expedition takes you off the beaten path, crawling through tunnels, chambers and yes, mud! The photos are priceless!
The cave networks below the Greenbrier Valley are renowned for rare ecosystems and dramatic formations.
4. With a broad variety of dining options in the Greenbrier Valley, dinner for two is a special gift indeed. From fine French cuisine to casual brewhouses, the food is as fun as it is flavorful. Check out this complete list of restaurants to see where you want to take someone.
5. For a one-of-a-kind experience, book a falconry lesson! It’s the art of flying trained birds of prey to retrieve wild quarry, and the Falconry Academy at The Greenbrier offers beginner and intermediate lessons.
6. Save a seat. Whether it’s a theatrical production or live music you seek, purchase a gift certificate for a show at Greenbrier Valley Theatre, the state professional theatre of West Virginia, or Carnegie Hall, one of only four remaining performance centers by that name in the world!
7. Visit the Smooth Ambler Spirits distillery to sample their fine selection of bourbons and ryes, including the house-made rye bourbon, Founders’ Cask Strength Series. If your curiosity is piqued, take the production tour from fermentation to barrel aging and see their philosophy in action.
8. If you and your bestie love to fish, a guided trout or smallmouth bass outing with one of the local guide services is just the ticket. Whether on a half-day or full-day trip, you’ll get a good taste of the local fishing prospects.
