Did you know that \u2026 Copper Fox Distillery<\/strong> is the only distillery in North America to hand malt barley for its single malt whiskey, rye, and gin \u2014 called VirGin because it uses locally grown grain? It is also the only distillery in the world to use apple and cherry wood to flavor its barley, giving the spirits a unique flavor. The distillery is open for tours and tastings from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n Did you know that \u2026 Williamsburg has been infiltrated by \u201creal-life\u201d TV spies from AMC\u2019s Revolutionary War-era drama, TURN: Washington’s Spies<\/em>? You might catch them when the show films in Williamsburg from time to time. Filming sites include Shirley Plantation, where the barn serves as the show\u2019s jail; Tuckahoe Plantation, which stands in as the home of Judge Richard Woodhull; the Great Hall of the\u00a0Christopher Wren Building at the College of William & Mary<\/strong>, which appears as the throne room of King George IV; and the streets of\u00a0Colonial Williamsburg<\/strong>, which substitute for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n Did you know that \u2026 you can soak in a salt tank to improve your health at the first salt spa on the East Coast? Fifteen tons of Polish and Himalayan salt create the Salt Cave at the Williamsburg Salt Spa<\/strong>.<\/u> Clients at the spa can sit in the cave or float in tanks, which helps the body absorb a combination of minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, and others. The concept is based on the Wieliczka Salt Mine in Poland, where in 1843 a doctor first cited the connection between working in the mine and the good health of workers.\u00a0So relax, soak, and breathe in deeply for good health.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you know that \u2026 you can make like a Viking and drink mead, an ancient honey-based fermented drink, at the Silver Hand Meadery<\/strong>? It offers honey and mead tastings as well as light-food pairings, and allows patrons to watch the mead production.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Did you know that \u2026\u00a0 you can take home historic 18th<\/sup>-century additions to your garden from the Colonial Nursery<\/strong>? It\u2019s just one of the often-ignored gardens that are part of the houses in Colonial Williamsburg. Only the very wealthy colonists would have had separate gardens for flowers, herbs, and vegetables so wandering the paths of these landscapes reveals riotous masses of color and food, from peas to rosemary to wildflowers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nSpies Like Us<\/strong><\/h3>\n
