The Dog And Oyster Micro-vineyard And Oyster

The oysters were wonderful! And paired very nicely with their wine, the Oyster White! The server was incredibly attentive and lovely, and the owner came over to meet us. Great service overall! I was less impressed by their selection of wines to try via the tasting, I liked 1 of the 4, which is not typical for me. That being said, my husband liked 3 of 4, so perhaps they were just not my taste.

This is a very cute and charming place to have a glass of wine and oysters. It was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon at the river.

They have a delicious food when we visited them. And a good wine we got some gift to our friends and family.

We drove from Yorktown for Chesapeake Wine Trail weekend event to find only three people working the event. Tables unturned. People flagging down the three over tasked people just to get a drink. It appeared as if very few people had food. Three families left without being served within an hour with us just showing up. Disappointed.

My husband found this quaint place while looking for an 'escape ' from the city WITH OYSTERS. This is less than 3hrs from DC. We arrived to a lovely B&B and a warm greeting from the proprietor, Peggy. We sat out one the patio, sampled the yummy wines and had some AMAZING oysters (SO FRESH) and a charcuterie plate. It was a perfect day to enjoy the delicacies offered. When we checked into the Hope and Glory Inn we fell in love with the quaint cottage. The whole property is absolutely beautiful. We truly enjoyed the outdoor bath before I took a bike ride on one of the complimentary bikes. That evening we dined in the main house, romantic, rustic, all around charming. I don 't know if my review could come close to describing the sheer GENIUS of their chef, but I will try. We started with fresh Rappahannock River oysters which were roasted and served with the most tasty pesto, WOW! The next course was the gazpacho. I 'm not a fan of cold soup, THIS was the exception. It was bursting with flavors and freshness (it was nice SEEING those heirloom tomatoes growing outside our cottage window, along with fresh herbs) that I could never describe. The main course was a large crab cake, with little to NO filler and just as fantastic as everything she 's done. I love to dine out, this chef IS phenomenal. From beginning to end, this place, with it 's warm inviting people (even the housekeeping deserved a hug) and unbelievable food, to it 's quaint cottages which have all the 'little things ' you need, made this a magical weekend. I can only imagine once the foliage is in bloom. DON 'T miss this spot. Get away for a few... And meet Peggy, Chef Meseret, and Dudley, worth the drive!
