RICHMOND (WINA) – A number of area attractions are featured in the Virginia Tourism Corporation’s new video and guide “What’s New in Virginia in 2023”. Ryan Winfree with the VTC says two wineries — Southwest Mountain Vineyards and Paradise Springs Winery — are poised to open this year in Albemarle County. Winfree says the Forum Hotel — built on the Grounds at UVa as part of the Darden School of Business — opens in April.

In Orange County, restaurants are running through Memorial Day the Edna Lewis Menu Trail — who was born in the county from freed slaves to become famous bringing African-American southern cuisine to the whole world. She wrote the first of five cookbooks in 1972.

And a bit of a road trip into Bath County, the Warm Springs Pools are reopened after a $14-million renovation.
