The flagship tasting room of the Rappahannock Oyster Company on the banks of the Rappahannock River in Topping, Merroir is one of the most compelling food and drink destinations in all of Virginia: a small-plate raw bar and tasting room where everything is either served raw or cooked on an outdoor grill, paired with craft beers and world-class wines, with transient boat docks adjacent to the working oyster farm. The Rappahannock oyster is one of America’s most celebrated, and Merroir is where you eat them at the source, looking at the river they came from. The Stuffin Muffin is legendary. Come by boat if you can.
