RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia is hoping a new Web site will help lure fall travelers to the commonwealth.

The Virginia Tourism Corp. says the site focuses on two-person romantic trips to wineries, historic inns and picturesque small towns.

The organization says it's trying to capitalize on growing interest in romantic getaways for aging baby boomers and Virginia's growing reputation as a wine region.

Virginia now has 160 wineries and 16 wine trails among its attractions.
