The Red Fox Inn & Tavern

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Landmark Table in Virginia Hunt Country

The Red Fox Inn & Tavern sits at the heart of Middleburg, Virginia — a small town long defined by horses, rolling countryside, and a quietly serious appreciation for good food and wine. The address, 2 East Washington Street, has drawn travelers and locals alike for generations, and the inn's reputation as one of the region's most enduring dining destinations is well earned.

Wine Worth the Drive

The Wine Spectator Award of Excellence speaks to something the inn takes seriously: the cellar. That recognition, sustained through consistent curation, makes The Red Fox Inn & Tavern a reliable destination for guests who want their American meal paired with a thoughtfully assembled list — not an afterthought wine program but one that reflects genuine investment in the experience.

Southern American Cooking with a Sense of Place

The cooking here is rooted in American and Southern American tradition — the kind of food that feels appropriate to the landscape outside the windows. Hunt country Virginia has its own culinary character, and The Red Fox Inn & Tavern channels that without pretense. Dinner is the main event, and the room — historic, warm, unhurried — sets exactly the right tone for it.

For anyone passing through the Shenandoah foothills or making a dedicated trip into Virginia wine country, this is the kind of place that rewards the detour.
