Girlfriend Getaway Itinerary

Day 1

10:00 a.m. Arrive in Greenwood and Tour the Viking Range Plant. In 1987, Viking Range introduced professional cooking to the home, and gourmets the world over rejoiced. So they added a range top, then a dishwasher, a refrigerator and even an outdoor range. And along the way, they created their own culture of creativity and innovation. Now they’re applying Viking perfection to new categories like cookware, cutlery, and small appliances.

12:00 p.m. Lunch at the Crystal Grill (est. 1933) The Crystal Grill is a Greenwood institution that has been in operation for a century.
