Virginia's Oyster Trail gets a fresh look ahead of Urbanna fest

State of play: The Virginia Oyster Trail has been around since 2015, created by bivalve-loving Virginians to promote and support the state's farm-raised oyster industry.

• It helps visitors self-direct tours through Virginia's eight oyster regions, each defined by the flavor profile — ahem, "merroir" — that makes each unique.
• You can find some of the best places to stop for a shuck in each region.
• Plus, new with the website redesign: Download itineraries for oyster-filled getaways, like a wine and oyster trip to Williamsburg, a beer-focused one to Yorktown or an oyster and antiques day in Reedville.

What's next: The Urbanna Oyster Festival — Virginia's official oyster celebration — is November 7 and 8.
