After touring Monticello, we'll enjoy a late lunch at Michie Tavern. Michie Tavern accommodated travelers with food, drink, and lodging more than 200 years ago. Servers in period attire offer bountiful Southern Midday Fare. The rustic restaurant setting renders a lunch dining experience rich in southern culture and hospitality for families to enjoy. Get a taste of the 18th-century as we feature a buffet of southern fried chicken, marinated baked chicken, hickory-smoked pork barbecue, stewed tomatoes, black-eyed peas, buttermilk biscuits and so much more.
After lunch, we'll travel to Mount Ida Reserve's Tasting Room and Taphouse for a wine tasting. The Tasting Room & Taphouse is situated atop Mount Ida Reserve’s secluded 7,000 acre sanctuary, in the rolling hills of High Ridge. The prefect backdrop for enjoying great wine.
