We have a real, old fashioned, Virginia Thanksgiving Feast planned for you complete with all the trimmings - just without the meat!  It's all home made - just like you would if you had the time and you won't miss a thing! We'll start with a vegetarian turkey roast that is so yummy you'll ask over and over again if it's REALLY meat free. But we won't stop there.   We'll also have stuffing and home made gravy and so many veggies you won't know which to taste first. And desserts.  Did I mention desserts? Desserts to die for!  So yummy, so wonderful and (surprise) even healthy! Much of our food, by the way, is locally grown, raised or produced and much of it from our own kitchens and gardens.  There'll be local wines a plenty, too. Dinner will be served family style in the Mane House dining room.  You'll be seated right along with your Inn Keepers and share the dining table with the other guests.  Expect lively conversation steeped with good taste and tradition as you enjoy the fruits of your labor. The nice part about sharing your Thanksgiving with us is that there are no crowds to deal with or rushed servers.  You become part of our family.  Everything is included in one price - with the exception of optional drinks in the pub.  All you have to do is relax and reconnect.    The menu is cook's choice based on the best available ingredients.  Who knows what you and Karla will be whipping up!   Sample - Traditional Virginia Style Vegetarian Thanksgiving Menu (Subject to change based on ingredient availability.)
