May in Fearrington is an inviting mix of great food, lively events, and relaxed outdoor moments. The Fearrington House Inn offers a peaceful place to unwind, a few easy steps from The Fearrington House Restaurant whereChef Paul Gagne’s spring menu is off to rave reviews, and the Bar menu and Afternoon Tea menu have been reimagined for Spring.
Author events await at McIntyre's Books, featuring Craig Johnson at the end of this month, then Martin Walker and David Sedaris in June (buy your tickets early!). Trunk show season wraps up with Kenda Kist at Dovecote and Clifton Wilson at Thistle & Oak.
The Spa at Fearrington is perfect for a little pre-summer self-care, and wine classes, tastings, and a special Peter Michael dinner round things out. Evenings at Galloway's Wine Bar and Roost Beer Garden bring everyone together with live music, pizza, and time under the oak trees. Stop by soon!
THE FEARRINGTON HOUSE RESTAURANT
Chef Paul Gagne’s spring menu is proving to be one of his most popular, featuring classic spring ingredients used in unique and exciting ways. An English pea panna cotta with Manchego cheese turns the idea of an appetizer on its head, a perfectly poached farm egg showered in Pecorino breaks open to reveal delicate artichoke underneath, a delightfully colorful trout dish with potatoes is taken to new heights by a mastery of cooking skills and ingredient combinations like sugar snaps with orange and dill. Book your table here or join us at the Fearrington House Restaurant Bar for spring cocktails from Raquel and elevated snacks.
THE FEARRINGTON INN
Spring is one of the loveliest times to stay with us. The gardens are in full bloom, everything feels a little slower, and the whole village is right outside your door, from a memorable dinner to a relaxed morning at the spa or a browse through the shops. All the charm of a destination getaway, without the hassle of going far.
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.

THE SPA AT FEARRINGTON
THE SPA AT FEARRINGTON
We’re nearing sandal season and that means pedicure time! Whether you’re refreshing your look or simply taking time to unwind, every detail of our hand and foot care is designed to leave you feeling relaxed, restored, and perfectly polished. Book your treatments here.
As the school year winds down and summer activities begin, remember to take care of you first. Whether it’s a quick red light therapy session (great by itself or added onto any spa treatment), a facial or massage, a classic mani-pedi, or a shopping visit to stock up on at-home spa necessities (we have an AMAZING selection right now), a trip to the Spa at Fearrington is a must before summer gets into full swing.
The trunk show season concludes with Kenda Kist today at Dovecote and Clifton Wilson on the 8th and 9th at Thistle & Oak, but keep your eyes peeled throughout the summer for new arrivals, sales, and more.
