The Dog and Oyster Vineyard

The Dog & Oyster Vineyard is the Hope and Glory Inn’s nationally acclaimed vineyard, holding medals from San Francisco to VA’s Governor’s Cup. On weekends, wine is paired with local oysters. Dogs are welcome at our vineyard.

About Us: 
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. The quirky name of the vineyard 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.

The vineyard is located within the Town of Irvington and just 3/10ths of a mile up the road (Rte. 200 / Irvington Rd) from the Hope and Glory Inn. One may walk, ride a bike or travel by car.
