A glimpse into one of The Inn’s most quietly extraordinary collections.

Our whisky program, led by Jeff LaBelle, is a magnificent obsession: a deeply curated catalogue of rare and exquisite bottles from around the world, including offerings seldom seen in even the most celebrated establishments. Some number fewer than a few hundred bottles in existence; others come from distilleries that disappeared decades ago.

Jeff, a Master of Scotch through the Council of Whiskey Masters and a Certified Whisky Specialist, brings both scholarship and soul to the experience.

We invite you to experience another of the Inn's hidden pleasures for yourself.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Neil O’Heir, our beloved Dining Room Manager and a treasured member of The Inn at Little Washington family for more than 30 years. Neil joined The Inn in 1992, beginning his tenure as a server in the dining room before becoming Director of Dining Services and later Maître d’. His warmth, kindness, steady spirit, and deep devotion to hospitality touched generations of guests and staff alike.

To so many, Neil was more than a familiar face in our dining room — he was part of the fabric of The Inn, creating special moments and lasting memories with his grace, care, and generosity. His legacy will remain with us always.

A funeral service will be held at St. Peter Catholic Church, 12762 Lee Hwy., Washington, VA, on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., with Fr. Beres officiating. Neil’s official obituary may be found below:

We’re delighted to have been selected by Yahoo Travel and The Manual to be among the finest celebrations in America for the nation’s 250th.

To celebrate here in Little Washington feels especially fitting as we continue the year-long festivities we began on New Year’s Eve.
A final few places remain for our Fourth of July House Party.

It is morel season—that brief, almost enchanted moment when these magical mushrooms make their annual appearance at our kitchen doors.

For the past 48 years, their arrival has been one of our favorite signs of spring. Elusive, earthy, and wonderfully rare, morels have always held a special place on our spring menus—not simply because they are delicious, but because they remind us how fleeting the very best things can be.

This year, they have found their way onto all three of our spring tasting menus: alongside Colossal White Asparagus on the Here and Now Menu; with Bone Marrow Crème Brûlée and Long Island Duck Breast dishes on our Enduring Classics Menu; and in our Roasted Garlic Custard across all three menus.

Their season is short. As quickly as they make their appearance, they disappear again.We hope you will reserve your seat at our table while they are still here.
