Childress Vineyards

At Childress Vineyards, Chef David Thomas has developed a menu that features Bistro cuisine with an Italian flair. The Bistro offers daily entree specials and soups, focusing on fresh, organic produce, meats, seafood and homemade pastas. The menu changes seasonally.

So as to provide our guests with ample seating and a more customized experience, The Bistro at Childress Vineyards will no longer be featuring the Sunday Brunch Buffet. Instead, we will offer our regular menu on Sundays, in addition to a weekly brunch special. For those who would prefer a lighter fare, we have recently opened a serving bar in the foyer where a variety of fruits, cheeses and pastries will be available for your enjoyment.
