Send Your Stress Downstream!

This One-of-a-Kind Getaway focuses on an Eastern Shore Winery Kayak Tour along the banks of the scenic Chesapeake Bay. Your stress will float away!

Spend a day on a Winery Kayak Tour in Machipongo, hosted by SouthEast Expeditions. Visit the stately plantation of Chatham Vineyards and savor their award-winning Chardonnay, Merlot and Rose. Then bring some wine along on a guided paddle along the winding Church Creek under the wings of eagles! Throw out your cares and your anchor on unmanned Rabbit Island. Toast your good forturne in finding this hidden treasure -- only on the Eastern Shore.

Nearby in Machipongo, you can visit the Barrier Islands Center, a one-of-a-kind museum that brings to life with amazing artifacts, photos and stories the long-vanished communities of the Eastern Shore's Seaside Barrier Islands. Then, head down to Cape Charles and see the Cape Charles Museum that has tales to tell of this Victorian smalll town, including its glory days when the railroad and steamboats brought the world to its door.

For wildlife adventure, visit the Eastern Shore of Virginia Wildlife Refuge, a beautiful spot anytime of the year, but come fall wings fill the air during a globally significant phenomenon! Hundreds of thousands of birds flock to the Eastern Shore's cape to rest and fuel up on their annual migration south.

And don't miss Kiptopeke State Park and experience the Chesapeake Bay Shoreline like it used to be, adorned with natural beaches and dunes, maritime forest with hiking and biking trails along with wonderful cabins, campgrounds, fishing pier and boat launch.
