Middleburg

The Red Fox Inn & Tavern

Middleburg · Middleburg · American, Southern American

The Wild Card

The Red Fox Inn isn't a destination wine list, but it's a genuinely good one — especially if you let Virginia take the wheel. Send a friend here who thinks East Coast wine is an afterthought and let RdV and Boxwood do the convincing.

The Conservatory at Goodstone

Middleburg · Middleburg · Farm to Table, Seasonal

The Rager

The Conservatory is the kind of destination wine list that makes the drive to Middleburg worth it before you've even looked at the menu — deep, considered, and one of the few places in Virginia willing to celebrate what the state grows right alongside the global heavy hitters. Markups keep it from being a steal, but the overall experience earns it.

Harrimans Grill

Middleburg · Middleburg · American

The Wild Card

Harrimans is a legit wine destination hiding inside a Virginia resort — the California and French depth is real, and the by-the-glass count is genuinely impressive for the middle of hunt country. Markup is the rub, and the list could use more personality, but if you're already here, order the Domaine Drouhin and the duck and don't look back.
