Sometimes, you just need something more unusual than than standard fare;  perhaps it is an extra-special occasion, or you wish to particularly impress your group.  In that event, Sterling can offer assistance with some marvelously extraordinary dining circumstances - a small sampling follows:

  Williamsburg Winery - A unique dining and touring experience, offering tours through the winery's underground cellars, as well as wine-tastings of the many celebrated wines created here. The Winery also opened the Gabriel Archer Tavern in 1996, which is available for fine lunches.

  River Boat Cruises - available from Hampton and Norfolk, ranging from small riverboats to "the largest three-masted topsail passenger schooner under the U.S. flag."  Sterling can arrange on-deck dinners and receptions for your group.  We can also arrange Jamestown Island Explorer Riverboat cruises on the James River around the Jamestown Island National Park (bald eagles are a frequent attraction of this cruise);   three cruises - sunset, nature, and bird-watching - are available.  Sterling also offers cruise packages or fishing packages aboard the Yorktown Lady or the Miss Yorktown.

  Virginia Air and Space Center - See the first fighter planes suspended in air from its 94 foot ceiling, artifacts from the Apollo 12 Command, and experience that  first step on the moon in the museum's famed IMAX theater.  This wonderfully family-oriented museum offers over 100 hands-on exhibits exploring a wide range of themes relating to the world around us.  The museum offers a teacher's corner, as well, for teachers seeking new and exciting ways to impart knowledge;  also available are wonderful science camps.

  Virginia Living Museum - Truly a "wild spot"!  This museum boasts indoor/outdoor year-round attractions, something for everyone in the family.  It is a combination of a native wildlife park, science museum, aquarium, botanical preserve, and planetarium, all on the same grounds - animal life ranges from bobcats to beetles, and everything in between!  The planetarium has daily shows about the universe and world around us.  There is a gift shop on the premises.

  Mariner's Museum - 13 spacious galleries, each with a story of its own, from a treasure chest of figureheads, ship models, and navigational instruments to the world renowned August Crabtree Collection of Miniature ships.  Most recently, the Mariner's Museum became the home of the newly raised 160-ton Monitor turret, a very exciting development in marine history.  The turret is available for viewing, and visitors can watch the restoration process taking place.  The museum also offers rotating collections and exhibits, as well as an extensive library.  Come visit part of the past!

  Watermen's Museum - Details the stories of the hard-working men and women of the Chesapeake Bay through a combination of indoor and outdoor exhibits.  Some highlights of the exhibits include models of workboats, tools of the trade, 100-year old Poquoson 5-log canoes and other boats, as well as paintings/photographs of "the way things were" on the Bay.  Hands-on educational programs are also available for certain groups.  Fine dining for smaller groups available in the Carriage House, which overlooks the beautiful York River;  this location can also be reserved for weddings, receptions, parties, and meetings.
