Probably either Portland, or Seattle. I don't know what the food scene is like at either place, but I'd be in beer heaven.

Tigre could take you on fresh produce tours...you could bike the countryside together selecting only th freshest produce.

I wouldn't recommend it right now. They are living off their reputation and getting a little bit tired. To eat and stay for two of you is about 1000-2000 a night (yes-you probably want to stay their or another local B&B because it is truly far from anywhere else. Plus, you need to fly to DC, rent a car and drive 55 miles southwest.

Cool. Very friendly, small vineyards and restaurants where they're happy to sit and visit with you and talk about food parings with the local wines.

I've been 4 times for several nights at a time, but it's been a few years. I'm aware of the drive etc...
Were you there, recently? Where did you get the info that it was getting a bit tired?
I've adored the place every time I've been and thought it was worth every penny. The service and pampering was outstanding on each visit as was the food.

I own a place in Fairfax County and would rather spend my money closer to home. I find the boys a bit creepy.
I have a great friend who lives in Woodville. He is a "client oriented business" and wines and dines all the time. He and his colleagues have stepped back on the place in the last few years.
If that place is your thing, enjoy.

Okay, I'll just stay at your place from now on. 
The boys don't bother me. I've never seen much of them with the exception of O'Donnell in the kitchen. It's never been anything less than a stellar experience for me, but I will certainly check out the latest scoop on it, before I go again, if I have that opportunity. It's a very "destressful" experience, which is what I want when I go on vacation. I don't much like what I call, "working vacations". I don't want to have to be up at a certain time to tour anything. Been there, done that. Other than watching leaves change, tides roll in, snow falling or wait staff bringing me delectable delights, I can't think of any other activities that are "must sees" in my life when I'm going on a lengthy vacation. I'm sure there are a few exceptions I haven't thought of, but it's Christmastime, right now, and I'm feeling stressed. The very thought of vegging out at the Inn, makes my body go into a gel like state.
Let me know when your place is available.
P.S. The crabmeat and spinach timbale from the Inn is one of the best apps I've ever put in my mouth. It's smooth and divine. I've made it many times at home. It's in O'Donnell's first book, I believe. I think they serve it with a buerre blanc sauce. I know I do because the sauce makes it all come together.

I lived there for a while, the food is nothing to write home about really. Lot's of Italian, German and French obviously. Mussels are ok, some places do them a lot better than others, fries with mayo get old after a while.
I was too young at the time to fully appreciate the beer of Belgium.

I traveled a bit in Belgium and can't remember anything I ate. I can recall particular glasses of beer, however.

Remember, people in Virginia don't know how to cook, especially crabs.
