Virginia has wine trails and beer trails, but did you know there is now a donut trail? If your sweet tooth is calling, pack a bag and prepare to taste some mighty fine gourmet doughnuts. We can even recommend places for you to stay while taking your trip!
Starting in Fredericksburg, visit Paul's Bakery.
Local patrons describe it as not only "festive" but the shop's reputation is absolutely delicious. You can stay at the beautiful Lavender Heights Bed and Breakfast, and enjoy the cinnamon twists or blueberry glazed donuts at Paul's Bakery. Both come highly recommended.

In Richmond, there's the Sugar Shack. This sinful little piece of sugar heaven has almost limitless options to thrill your tastebuds. From peanut butter chocolate chip, girl scout cookies, and funfetti, these fun treats are as pleasing to look at as they are to eat!
Make plans to stay at the historic Linden Row to round out a sweet Richmond stay!
