The Tides Inn

Tucked between Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River on its own peninsula in Virginia's Northern Neck, this quaint, 106-room inn features a full-service spa, golf course and marina with a sailing school. In addition, the property is situated at the tip of the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail, an intimate wine region with thirteen easily accessible wineries. There are few more ideal pairings than fine wines and Southern hospitality, and it is this combination that draws travelers to the area. They also come to be immersed in colonial heritage, which can be found throughout the countryside, as well as right at the inn, from its architecture to its regional culinary offerings.
