In 1987 the Duffeler family constructed the Gabriel Archer Tavern on the footprints of an old farm shed on the grounds of Wessex Hundred. Originally, this first completed winery structure housed barrels, bottling equipment, and the finished wines. Today, its mission is to provide a memorable farm-to-fork dining experience that’s both delicious and nourishing.

Reviews
The most recent visit was on Valentine’s Day. We actually ate there twice, the first being for lunch. The restaurant was completely booked so we ordered the charcuterie board to go. The board was exquisite with an array of salami, prosciutto, 4 different types of cheese, grapes and assorted olives neatly packaged. It went well with the wine tasting.
We returned to the restaurant for dinner having already made our choices prior in the day to much surprise they were serving a special Valentines menu. In reviewing the menu, it was obvious I wouldn’t be able to eat the appetizer due to a wheat allergy. Jenna, our waitress who was exceptional said it is a fixed menu but let me go ask the chef if they could possibly substitute an alternative to accommodate me. She quickly returned sharing they could offer me a salad.
My husband got Smoked Salmon, Gnocchi, Sea Bass and Chocolate cake along with the wine pairing. I had the Smoked Salmon, the special house salad, Chicken Roulade and Chai Cheesecake.
Jenna gave us plenty time to finish each course expeditiously bringing us the next.
My husband and I were impressed with the food and service making for a memorable evening.
We would highly recommend the Gabriel Archer Tavern at the Williamsburg Winery! We are already looking forward to our return in three weeks!
We enjoyed a bottle of the Merlot wine along with the hanger steak, rockfish, and for dessert, the cannolis and peppermint dessert, which was truly decadent and full of flavor. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. Jenna’s recommendations and friendly service elevated the entire meal and made the evening feel special.
Wonderful food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service—Gabriel Archer Tavern delivered on all fronts.
A special thanks to Alexandra, who took such great care of us. She was kind, attentive, and made our visit even more special.
Can’t wait to come back! ✨
We did notice some strange white fuzz on the brick floor, but overall the experience and service totally outweighed it. We’ll definitely be back!
