Virginia's Portraits of Passion
Live Passionately is less about a vacation and more about a lifestyle– one centered around an obsession for travel and a dedication to living life to its fullest.
It’s a spirit driven by a passion for personal freedom that was infused in Virginia’s beginnings and pulses throughout the commonwealth today. This passion for living is the truth of Virginia: its history, its folk arts, its culinary traditions and most importantly, its people.
The people of Virginia tell an amazing story – one of adventure, history, traditions and charm. They embody the best the state has to offer, from the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains to the sandy shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Their backyards encompass 130 wineries, 400 years of history, 3,000 miles of shoreline, 34 state parks and more than 700 museums. Their subtle approach to the finer things in life and innate hospitality make Virginia a travel destination of distinction.
Virginia invites travelers to come and meet these Virginians who share their passion for wine, food, history, music, adventure and life.
Come to Virginia and live passionately.
