Spring at Fearrington is in full swing, with something to enjoy at every turn. Dine outdoors with garden and pasture views, gather for pizza, beer, and live music at Roost, or plan a stay at the Inn for cozy mornings, blooming gardens, and unhurried days. Seasonal menus highlight fresh spring ingredients, while Afternoon Tea brings bright citrus, berries, and refined classics. The shops are filled with new arrivals and lively trunk shows, the Spa offers refreshing Lemon Verbena treatments, and the calendar is packed with wine events and author visits at McIntyre’s. It’s the perfect time to visit, linger, and experience the Village at its best.
THE RESTAURANT
Chef Paul Gagne's spring menu is just around the corner - we're looking forward to rhubarb, peas, onions, asparagus, and ramps used in new ways. Spring Afternoon Tea leans into citrus, ripe berries, and light herbal notes, balanced with soft sweets like pistachio and carrot cake, and clean, savory bites like cucumber, salmon, and egg salad. Easy to love!
THE FEARRINGTON INN
Spring is a truly magical time to visit the Fearrington House Inn; there are still cool mornings and evenings to snuggle up in the luxurious bedding in your room, or take a long bubble bath and curl up with a book in a bathrobe next to a cozy fire. Then bask in the springtime sunshine, walk the trails, book a spa treatment, or do some shopping all afternoon between your gourmet breakfast, teatime, and multi-course dinner. Tag your photos so we can share the beauty you experience on social media @fearrington_house—the gardens, the Belted Barnyard, the food! We never tire of seeing the Village through your eyes.
THE FEARRINGTON INN
Early spring at Fearrington Village feels like a reset, and it is a lovely time to come stay with us. If you want to linger a little longer, our February Thursday rates make it tempting to turn a visit into an overnight, especially on wine class and wine dinner evenings. We also offer Sunday discounts, perfect for cocktails and snacks at the bar and an effortless staycation. Call 919-542-2121.
