Hermitage Farm - Restaurant, bourbon/horse experience

From the article.


Their vision of that plan is a roughly 14,000-square-foot restaurant inside barn eight on the property. It will seat about 150 people and have a farm-to-table concept, with plans to hire a chef to oversee the menu and a large processing kitchen, the couple said at a news conference at the farm.

About 7,500 square feet in the "mechanic's barn" will be converted into a bourbon experience, which will include demonstrations of fermentation, distillation and aging with a tasting area but no distillery.

A third element at Hermitage Farm is an equine experience where visitors will be able to see horses up close.

It sounds excellent, and they've certainly got the money to make it happen.

I wonder if it might end up as more a special event kind of deal - like Foxhollow - rather than a destination eatery, the problem being that it's kind of far out to be a destination. I'd definitely eat there, though.

... a la Joe Huber, perhaps. Its out of the way but is a popular destination.

Met them both once. She's nice. Him, not so much.

If you want to check out Hermitage farm, tomorrow is the Hermitage Fall Festival and CDE Classic. Beautiful carriages and horses cross country driving...bring your dog, there will be lure coursing for the pups, several food trucks will be there as well (Blackbeard Espresso, Boston Joe (a lobster food truck), LATino and Boo Boo Smokestack) https://www.facebook.com/events/1816998421865330/
