Thomas Jefferson wrote, in 1818, that “in nothing have the habits of the palate more decisive influence than in our relish of wines.” Come celebrate Jefferson’s passion for wine during the Monticello Wine Festival 2013!

On Saturday, May 11, 2013 from 6pm – 9pm, you can be part of an unforgettable evening on the West Lawn of Monticello. Enjoy the splendor of spring while tasting Virginia’s best vintages at the only house in America designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Whole new look to the website

hummer — Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:14:09 +0000

When we took over the Hummingbird Inn, almost five years ago now, we also got the existing website, which had just been updated. But that was five years ago, and in tech time, that is a lifetime. So we took on the challenge, and updated it again. New look, new color scheme…..more contemporary and in line with this moments standards. Let us know what you think.

If you have a craving for maple….maple donuts…maple candy…maple anything…you have got to get yourself to the Highland Maple Festival, March 12-13 and 19-20. Its just down the road a bit from the Hummingbird Inn in Goshen, and it is such a pretty drive. You can take the Sugar Tour around Highland County, and visit any one of a half-dozen sugar camps. Or head straight for Monterey, where all the fun is centered. Its for the sweetness in you.

Beautiful Snow Day in Goshen!

Couldn’t let the day go by without sharing the beautiful winter wonderland we have outside the Hummingbird Inn… It’s been such a mild winter, this was quite a treat… Only have 4 or 5 inches, but I don’t think it will last long – its just not that cold! Wish you were here to see it!

A Puzzling Day at the Hummingbird Inn

hummer — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 14:22:02 +0000

So there we were with an empty table at the Hummingbird Inn, and guests who were just dying to do…..JIGSAW PUZZLES!!

Started out with great enthusiasm, which for Innkeeper Dan lasted about 10 minutes. The rest of the puzzlers, Dee and Teresa and Innkeeper Patty ( not in this picture ) worked thru the night and the next couple of days, to finish not one, but two 1000 piece puzzles. So next time you visit the Hummingbird Inn, a Lexington VA area bed and breakfast, and that empty table beckons, rest assured we can find a challenging puzzle for you too!!
