Are there places to sit while we wait for a table at the Fearrington House Restaurant?

  1. If you have to wait for a table at the Fearrington House Restaurant, take a seat in the bar or even in the lounge. In cooler temps, we recommend that you perch yourself on a sofa by the fireplace in the lounge. While relaxing in the bar, you may be prone to ordering a pre- or post-dinner martini or cognac. Wood parquet floors, dim lighting, book-filled shelves and cozy seating give the place an erudite glow. If you crave a fresh cocktail, this is your place, considering that the Four-Star restaurant’s signature drinks change with the leaves. Sommelier Max Kast is likely to introduce a martini to match the season � cucumber martinis during hot summer, for example, and crabapple martinis in the fall, made with fruit from trees growing on the grounds. You can’t get more fresh than that.
