The US state of Virginia

In addition, vacationers have the opportunity to sample fine wines and excellent culinary delights. For these very reasons, Virginia is considered an insider tip among travelers to America. Between the famous Shenandoah National Park and the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west and the long sandy beaches on the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay in the east, there is a multitude of sights, culinary hotspots and historically significant places. Unique and unforgettable experiences are guaranteed here, true to the state's slogan "Virginia is for Lovers"!


So that you can really get to know a lot
the tourism organization Virginia Tourism Corporation (VTC) and the airline United Airlines offer a unique cooperation for a special time-out: 14 luxury hotels offer special packages exclusively for United Airlines customers, which include discounts as well as excellent additional services such as private wine tastings or tasting menus by renowned chefs.


United Airlines
flies comfortable non-stop connections from Germany and Switzerland. Traveling in the newly designed United Polaris Business Class is particularly pleasant. The premium cabin is designed for a particularly high level of sleeping and resting comfort on international long-haul flights, and the excellent service concept is also impressive.


Within a radius of just 45 minutes

The Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg offers the best location for equestrian sports and wine enjoyment. The Goodstone Inn has 18 elegantly furnished rooms and suites in six individual residences.
