Dining at Chateau Morrisette

One of only a very small number of Virginia wineries with full-on restaurants, Chateau Morrisette doesn’t disappoint. The dramatic, lodge-style dining room is set with white linens and lots of bling on the tables, which are spaced far enough apart to accommodate actual conversations.

In winter, you’ll enjoy the big fireplace, and in summer be sure to ask for a table on the patio.

Lunch includes fancy-homey sandwiches (open-faced meatloaf with Portabella gravy, hot pretzel with ham and gruyere), salads, and a handful of entrees normally served at dinner, but priced less ($16 – $21). Dinner entrees range from $20 – $30 and include an outstanding Shrimp and Grits, plus beef tenderloin and prime rib, chicken saltimbocca, cashew-crusted trout, rack of lamb and more.

Sundays in summer offer a brunch buffet ($24, or $12 for kids 10 and under), including a waffle bar and omelet station, salads, Sticky Buns, Sausage Gravy with biscuits, grits and potatoes, sausages and bacon, pork, fish and chicken entrees, prime rib and more.
