Brett & Caroline’s guidebook
Food scene
This barbecue/bakery gem is our favorite neighbor because their smoker is always going and you can smell the meaty goodness as soon as you open the front door on a nice day! We recommend the Breakfast Cuban with Cuban coffee or an Apple Cider Mimosa for the perfect Sunday brunch.

Hands down, our favorite restaurant in Winchester. The food quality is spectacular and the service is even better (especially if you sit at the sushi bar). Our menu go-tos are always the Chinatown Roll, Hong Kong Noodles or Bulgogi!

Caroline worked at this picturesque vineyard for years and found her passion for wine within this manor house’s walls. Brett took her here on one of their first dates and they shared a bottle of Stone Chimney Red while they made s’mores on a camping stove in the backyard. Full of history, hauntings (spoooooky!), and an assortment of libations, Valerie Hill is a must-visit when in Winchester!
