Lunch at Michie’s Tavern
Michie Tavern ca. 1784
683 Thomas Jefferson Parkway
Charlottesville
Michie Tavern is a Virginia Historic Landmark which has welcomed travelers for more than 200 years. Established in 1784 by Scotsman William Michie, the Tavern served as the social center of its community and provided travelers with food, drink and lodging. In 1927, the Tavern was moved 17 miles to its present location close to Monticello, serving as a prime example of the Colonial Revival period. Today, as you cross the threshold of old Michie's Tavern, you enter another time. This is where your 18th-century counterpart came to dine and socialize. Visitors experience the Tavern's past through an historical journey which recreates life when Mr. Michie operated his Inn. During the afternoons, April through October, visitors may be invited to dance the Virginia Reel in the Assembly Room, drink an 18th-century tavern punch or write with a quill pen. After visiting the original Inn, the tour continues through the Tavern's dependent outbuildings and the Virginia Wine Museum.
