A successful party, like a great film or work of art, elevates the spirit, makes people feel life is worth living, and enhance’s a guest’s self esteem.

Dining at the Kitchen Table

Does Virginia make world class wine? The resounding answer is yes! Decanter magazine has called Virginia “The next big thing in American wine”, and internationally renowned critics have extolled the virtues of Virginia wine, calling them “thrillingly good,” “remarkable,” and “a revelation”.

‘I have come to realize that like all other art forms, cooking is a vehicle for communication. If you look at a plate of food as a work of art, it can speak volumes. When I contemplate a finished dish, I feel as though I’m seeing it through 3-D glasses, while the rest of the world looks at it with bare eyeballs. Sometimes the plate is telling me more than I want to know.’

Patrick O’Connell abandoned his dream of becoming an actor for cooking and the “living theater” of the restaurant world. Just an hour’s drive from Washington DC, this sumptuous hideaway nestled at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains is a world-renowned destination for gourmets in the know. The menu spotlights Chef O’Connell’s spectacular, refined American dishes, like carpaccio of herb-crusted baby lamb with Caesar salad ice cream, served in dining rooms whose inspired décor creates a wondrous cocoon of luxury. The Inn’s rooms and suites are aptly named after America’s culinary pioneers, and opulent lounges complete the transformation to an idyllic fantasy world.
