Gather your girls and head to Richmond for a weekend filled with boutique shopping, delicious food, local wine, coffee, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday weekend, planning a reunion, or simply escaping for a weekend together, Richmond offers the perfect blend of relaxation and fun.
Friday Evening: Arrive & Unwind
Arrive and check into your Airbnb before kicking off the weekend. Use this link to see a few of our short-term rental options to accommodate all of you in one house: Unique Stays – Visit Richmond Kentucky.
Start your girls’ getaway with dinner at one of Richmond’s locally owned restaurants. Enjoy great food, cocktails, and plenty of time to catch up. If you want to stay in our entertainment district, visit Paddy Wagon Irish Pub or Madison Garden Bar & Grill. After dinner, walk around downtown Richmond and have a photoshoot in several of our downtown spots deemed ‘Instagram worthy’.
Saturday: Shopping, Sipping, and Exploring
Start your day with coffee and pastries at our coffee shop and plant lounge, Brewtanicals. You can walk to the Richmond Peddler’s Mall for antique hunting after starting your morning off with caffeine.
Want to continue shopping, but love shopping second hand? Less than five minutes away is Summer Lynn’s Consignment. If you want to shop at one of our local boutiques, stop into The Cotton Market to shop apparel, gifts, jewelry, and more. If you want to see additional shopping options in Richmond, check out the ‘Shopping’ section of our website.
For those who need a little more caffeine to get through the day, visit Golden Leaves for lunch in the tearoom. While you’re there, you can also find a locally made self-care product to bring home with you. Right next door is the Boutique at Merle Norman if you want to shop the latest trends in beauty and accessories.
Head back to your Airbnb to refresh before heading to Chenault Vineyards for golden hour photos, a wine flight, and take in the beautiful Kentucky countryside. Between the views at the vineyard and opportunities for the perfect group photo, the vineyard may easily become the highlight of your trip. If you visit on the weekend, more than likely you’ll be able to sit in the audience for live music.
Sunday: Slow Morning Out
Sleep in and head to Jackson’s for breakfast before heading out. Don’t forget to plan your trip back to Richmond over the morning meal. Richmond is the perfect place to make the perfect memories with your favorite people. We hope you’ll come back and visit us again!
