“at the Hope and Glory Inn”

Just a short stroll or bike ride away from our boutique Irvington Inn, you can find Hope and Glorys newly acquired Virginia vineyard, The Dog and Oyster. The Hope and Glorys plan is simply to take its formula for delighting guests; and, apply it to the vineyard. One enters the vineyard by passing between two 40 foot cork screws. We have to believe they are worlds largest corkscrews and certainly the most expensive. Here, we have four 3 bedroom accommodations among the "Tents at Vineyard Grove." Our guests may use the pool and kayak docks are there as well.The vineyard consists of more than 6 acres of Vinifera and French American Hybrid vines. There are four varieties of grapes. The two whites are Vidal Blanc and Chardonel. The two reds are Merlot and Chambourcin.In addition to our amusing corkscrews, the name of our vineyard should also make you smile. The quirky name was created to honor the rescue dogs that rescue the grapes from deer and other animals; and, to honor the oyster, one of the Chesapeake Bay region’s greatest assets.

Roadtriper's map took us to their White Fences location. We went back on the main highway where we saw sign instructions: Dog and Oyster 6/10 of a mile. At 4/10 of a mile you hit a T in the road with no direction to turn left or right. Went left (wrong,) then right, past the Inn. Never did find the Dog and Oyster winery with the BIG bottle openers. So you could say we were "Cork Screwed". At that point . . . gave up.
