Learn something new during your next getaway on the weekend of March 14-16 by spending the weekend cooking with us.
What You’ll Do:
- Arrive on Friday evening, when you’ll meet the chef and be treated to some delightful appetizers. The appetizers will be paired with a wine tasting of Virginia wines featuring an expert from a local winery.
- Enjoy a full hot breakfast Saturday morning.
- Explore the beautiful Middleburg area on your own.
- On Saturday evening we will gather in The Fox Den at Briar Patch (our event building) for the cooking class where the chef will demonstrate and guests will help prepare (and consume!) a 4-course meal. Wines from the featured winery will be served with the meal.
- Enjoy another full hot breakfast Sunday morning.
March 14-16, 2025 – Theme: Northern Italian Cooking
Friday Evening Hors D’Oeuvres:
- Herb and Garlic Stuffed Mussels with Parmesan
- Celery Root Fritters with Fresh Basil Aioli
- Crostini with Gorgonzola and Pine Nuts
Saturday Evening Dinner Menu:
- Polenta Unica (Polenta with Taleggio and Sage Brown Butter) – Polenta is great, and learning how to make it is a skill all its own. But did you know you can take a ramekin of it, stuff it with taleggio, and top it with browned garlic/sage butter? You can, and it’s amazing!
- Osso Bucco (Braised Beef Shank) – The classic braised shank of beef that has no equal in my opinion among beef stews.
- Risotto Milanese (Risotto with Saffron and Parmesan) – The classic accompaniment for osso bucco, this risotto is lovely, delicious, and a staple for all kitchens.
- Panettone with Crema de Mascarpone (fluffy mascarpone cream on sweet Italian bread) – Making a light and fluffy mascarpone cream is a treat in itself. Pairing it with a good panettone is even better!

Amazing wedding yesterday here Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn. Such a great vibe for this Iranian wedding, which took the record for shortest time from contract signing to wedding day -- 2 weeks! Thanks to these vendors for putting it all together so quickly:

It is notes we get like this one that makes being in the hospitality & wedding business worthwhile:

Dear Briar Patch,

Jon & I can't thank you enough for allowing us to spend our 12th wedding anniversary right where it all began. Walking the grounds, we recalled all the details of our picture perfect day. It was so nice to spend time as just us 2 and reconnect. We will undoubtedly return - and hope to one day show our 4 kids where we got married!

Hope & Jonathan

P.S. Gnocchi the cat (or Lynx as he was known to you guys) unfortunately passed last year but not before giving us so much love & laughter. Everyone in the neighborhood knew him - and he would greet them every time they walked by. True to form, we never took a walk where he wasn't right behind us. He would even follow us to the playground to watch our kids play. We miss him dearly.

Note from Briar Patch: This cat had wandered onto Briar Patch years ago - we fed him & loved his presence. Unfortunately, not all our guests loved his overbearing need for affection. So we were delighted when Hope & Jonathan agreed to adopt him. We are so happy he had a good life with them.

What a gorgeous wedding for a wonderful couple (Altinay & Nick) on a beautiful fall day yesterday here at Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn. During the bride's father's speech we learned that there were people in attendance from all over the globe - I counted more than 10 countries represented!

These talented vendors brought this wedding to life:
