Shopping in Williamsburg

by Debbie Keane |

Williamsburg is well know for its History but did you know shopping in Williamsburg is one of the most popular thing to do in 2010? With a variety of shopping options, you are sure to find what you are looking for. A diversity of shops can be found in Merchant Square. From Williams Sonoma to unique boutique shops like G.Bates, you can spend the afternoon shopping for that special gift, outfit, kitchen accessory or homemade candies right down the street. Take a break from shopping and enjoy a desert and wine outside on the patio at the Trellis Restaurant or grab a sandwich and sit outside at the Cheese Shop. Colonial Shops can be found right down the street where you will find Colonial Wear, household items and unique toys, foods and apparel.

If you prefer the more modern name brand stores, head up the street about 4 miles and you will find the Williamsburg Premium Outlets. With over 135 stores you are sure to find a bargain waiting for you every day of the year.

After a long day of shopping, come back to A Williamsburg White House Inn, enjoy afternoon snacks and wine, a beautifully appointed room and a full complimentary breakfast.
