Helicopter Ride to Inn at Little Washington Dinner for Four
Oh, what a night! You and three guests will fly in a HeloAir helicopter to Washington, Va. for cocktails and dinner at the famed Inn at Little Washington. Depart Richmond from the Richmond International Airport HeloAir hanger for the short trip to The Inn. Upon landing, The Inn's car will whisk your group to the The Inn's restaurant and welcome you with canapes and champagne in the Living Room.
Following cocktails, stroll to the kitchen for your seven-course dinner with wine pairings. Nestled on either side of a baronial fireplace in the kitchen, your table will give you a front row seat to the magic of The Inn and the work of famed chef Patrick O'Connell. With this special seating, the chefs will even prepare extra courses for your enjoyment.
O'Connell's inspired American cuisine draws admirers from around the world. Dining at The Inn at Little Washington has been likened to performance art, with the guest always playing the starring role. The experience evokes a romantic dinner party in a private country house from another era. Whimsical touches, such as a rolling cow (named Faira) displaying cheeses, invite guests to relax, be themselves and have fun.
O'Connell's approach to cooking, while paying homage to the lawmakers of classical French cuisine, reflects a belief in American cuisine today-- healthy, eclectic, imaginative, unrestricted by ethnic boundaries and always growing. Much of the produce and herbs used in the restaurant are raised on a small farm on their campus. The Inn continues to maintain its status as the longest tenured AAA Five Diamond and Forbes 5 Star restaurant in the world and has been awarded 3 Michelin stars again for the 2021 Michelin Guide.
The Inn tries to limit alterations to their menu so that every guest can enjoy the maximum experience that the Chef has intended. They gladly accommodate any of the following dietary restrictions: shellfish, pork, nuts, gluten and dairy. Beyond those listed, the chefs are unable to make any further alterations to their curated menu options, but they offer a full alternative vegetarian menu.
This package is available for a Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday evening and excludes holidays. Reservations are final, but The Inn will allow a one-time reschedule due to helicopter travel restrictions. Includes tax and service charges. Helicopter flight subject to change based on availability, maintenance and weather. Expires on March 24, 2024.
