Wineries with Food

Personally, I do not usually order food at wineries. I prefer to bring a picnic to the winery and be able to choose my lunch. Only a few wineries have full menus, while others simply have cheese/charcuterie plates, and some wineries are very limited in what they offer. With that said, if you are looking for wineries known for having great food, you have come to the right place! 

My suggestions are: Barboursville, Early Mountain, Mount Ida, Pippin Hill, Trump and Veritas. 

Barboursville

Barboursville provides an extensive menu at their Palladio Restaurant. This is open for lunch and dinner and provides wine-food pairings as well as set menus with multiple courses. Out of all the wineries visited, this menu is the largest and seems to be a very upscale restaurant. Reservations are recommended for lunch and should be made at least a week in advance. Dinner reservations are required and suggested to be reserved at least two weeks in advance. I've heard great reviews of this restaurant! 

Early Mountain

Their belief is that Virginia wine should be complimented with delicious food. A friend of mine who has eaten at this vineyard says it's delicious. They have small bites, salads, a couple of mains and some dessert. 

Pippin Hill 

This is the biggest menu I have seen at a winery and it all looks delicious. I have heard many great things about the restaurant here and have been wanting to try it when my parents come to visit, but they always arrive too late to eat here. They also do wine-food pairings here so you can try their wine recommendations along with delicious food. 

Mount Ida 

This is the newest winery on the list and I think a big reason they have been doing so well since opening is their full menu. It also changes seasonally so you can look forward to different food options each season. The menu lists what wines would pair well with the meal you choose too, which I really like. They mostly have pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, and salads. Also, their desserts are known for being really good so save room for that.

Trump Winery

Trump Winery is another great place if you are looking for a meal with your wine. They have a variety here as well, with flatbreads, salads, cheese plates and sandwiches. The menu is seasonal so it does change throughout the year. 

Veritas 

They have two options here. First is the food offered on the terrace. This would be what you want while you're out wine tasting for the day. They offer sandwiches, salads and snacks. If you are looking for a special dinner out at the winery, they have the Farmhouse at Veritas. This is a four course dinner in which they pair each dish with Veritas wines. I've heard wonderful things about the Farmhouse but have yet to try it!
