Goodstone Inn and Restaurant in Middleburg has opened Grayson’s, a farm-driven restaurant that takes its name from an unlikely source: Grayson, the estate’s resident llama.
The new concept replaces the inn’s previous dining experience with a more relaxed approach centered on ingredients harvested from Goodstone’s own farm and gardens. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, weekend brunch, and bar service. It’s open to both overnight guests and the public.
Located on the inn’s sprawling estate in Virginia’s horse and wine country, Grayson’s draws inspiration from the property’s rolling pastures, stone walls, and working farmland. The seasonal menus include fresh ingredients from the onsite farm, including herbs, greens, heirloom vegetables, and fresh eggs.
“We set out to create a dining experience that tells the story of our home,” said Michael Smith, Goodstone’s general manager, in a statement. “Grayson’s celebrates the bounty of Goodstone’s farm and the spirit of the countryside through every detail, from the ingredients on the plate to the hospitality we provide.”
The restaurant’s opening reflects a growing demand among diners for locally sourced cuisine and authentic agricultural experiences.
Goodstone Inn has long been known as a destination retreat, attracting visitors with its luxury accommodations, scenic setting and proximity to Loudoun County’s wineries. Grayson’s at Goodstone Inn, 36205 Snake Hill Rd., Middleburg
