A Holiday Getaway In Irvington, Virginia

‘Tis the season for the best holiday getaway – stay at the Hope and Glory Inn and shop Irvington, Virginia!

The Town of Irvington is filled with the holiday spirit this time of year, and the Hope & Glory Inn is the perfect place to book your stay of jolly fun!

Holiday Shopping in Irvington is fun and stress free

Our trendy shops offer a small town but sophisticated approach to getting your holiday shopping accomplished. You can avoid the hustle & bustle of malls & box stores, and stroll the decorated Norman Rockwellian streets of Irvington. You’re guaranteed to find something for everyone on your list whether they like apparel, fine art, gifts, crafting home decor or the simplicity of a bottle of wine from The Dog and Oyster.

The Best Gift of all can be a Hope and Glory Inn Gift Certificate

Everyone needs a getaway – a break from work, time away from children or simply restorative time together. You know who they are and you have heard every reason why they can’t. You can make it happen! They will be so grateful.

You can gift them with their very own getaway at the Hope & Glory with the purchase of one of our gift certificates! Our gift certificates can be used towards their next stay or even for a culinary experience at The Colonnade or Dog & Oyster Micro-Vineyard, and it’s one of the easiest shopping trips. Just go to https://www.hopeandglory.com/gift-certificates/ to make your purchase.

Stay at the Hope and Glory and bring home your Christmas Tree

There’s a newly emerging Christmas tree farm to be found where our vineyard was previously located and the venue is called Camp. During your stay at The Hope & Glory Inn, you can find your perfect tree for the holidays and sip libations while you select the right tree for your spot at home and have Camp carefully load it for you. Though the team at Camp is just planting their trees in the ground for the seasons to come, they have beautiful pre-cut balsam firs from Pineberry Farm in Wheelock, Vermont, as well as Frazier Firs from the mountains of western North Carolina, all ranging in size from 5’ to 10’. 

Tree Lighting, Parade, and The Big Man Himself

There’s nothing quite like a coastal town at Christmas! Especially when Southern Living called Irvington the swankiest in Virginia. What our town “lacks” in surface area is certainly made up for with our big holiday spirit! As all of the local businesses deck their storefronts in lights and bows, our town is preparing for a visit from everyone’s favorite jolly fellow on December 1 at our Illuminate Irvington event. Along with Santa’s visit, the event includes a fun community golf cart parade, a food truck, tree lighting, caroling, and giveaways! 

 

Book your stay for this exciting & festive weekend! Can’t make it that weekend? No worries!

There are plenty more fun holiday events happening in our area during the month of December!
