Dining at Chrysalis Vineyards

Chrysalis Vineyards is about as fine a place we’ve seen for a picnic, with abundant seating on a patio and the rolling green lawn, Blue Ridge views in the distance. They’re slowly moving from providing the usual snacks (cheese from local producers, warm bread, etc.) into offering more robust fare (weekends only). An assortment of patés, chutneys, and cheeses are available in the tasting room refrigerator; see the weekly menu here, starting at 3pm on the Tuesday before. There’s a limited quantity, so contact Chef Hump (540-687-8222 ext. 205) if you’d like to reserve some.

Also available, via a weekly catering menu, are a yummy assortment of cold meals, sandwiches, and salads, ranging from $8 to $18. Offerings change weekly (see this week’s menu here), but have included Moroccan Tandoori Chicken, Greek Islands Pork, Farm Fresh Egg Salad, Portobello and Arugula salad, and Cuban sandwiches. Catering Menu items must be ordered (pre-paid) by 5pm on the Monday before the weekend, and require an 8-person minimum.
