Dining at the Inn
Our own interpretation of modern Southern cuisine using the best local ingredients
An overnight stay at the Inn includes a delicious three course breakfast each morning which may include fresh from the oven ginger scones with lemon curd butter, breakfast ambrosia, crepes filled with local apples and apricots embellished with Calvados cream and complemented by farm fresh ham or sausage, potent Bucks County coffee and a variety of teas. Virtually everything is prepared from scratch and is presented with equal emphasis on pleasing the eye and palate. The Inn’s breakfasts received national attention in a Country Home Magazine feature that included nine of our recipes as well as mouth watering photography.
The Gourmet Friday Supper is a casual affair with a “Southern Comfort” flavor, served between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m. Put the week behind you and relax with a glass of wine while you enjoy a seasonal three course meal. Enjoy a crisp salad or summer soup, a hearty gumbo or a lighter summer fare, followed by one of our acclaimed desserts with fresh brewed coffee or tea. It’s the perfect beginning to a relaxing weekend.
Saturday night dinner at the Inn is a special event. Following the 6:30 social gathering, which features sangria or mulled wine and hors d’oeuvres, dinner’s bill of fare is announced by your hosts. Guests are then invited to be seated at romantic candlelit tables for two in the elegant manor house dining rooms.
The four course meal features the best the Northern Shenandoah Valley has to offer. Seasonal fish, meats, farm fresh produce, including herbs and watercress from the Inn’s grounds, take center stage. Dinner may be portobellas and shiitakes in a clear sherried broth, spinach and strawberry salad with caramelized pecans, pork tenderloin with thyme-roasted pears over smoked Gouda grits, and finishing with a frozen Kahlua cheesecake with housemade double chocolate sauce.

Vintner’s Dinner Weekends: Each year the Inn hosts a series of Vintner’s Dinner Weekends. Working with the evenings vintner, we develop a special menu, and paired wines are selected.
