Signature Culinary OfferingsLancaster Lemonade was born on a snowy day in 2010 at the Tides Inn, when TV Flynn, Food & Beverage Director, and Gordon Slatford, General Manager, set about to create a perfect summer drink and signature cocktail. Despite creating and tasting a potpourri of liquid delights well into the night, the first day was a dismal failure. But refreshed and inspired by further overnight snow, these two mixologists achieved success on January 15th with a drink that is sweet, tangy and refreshing.

Now, Lancaster Lemonade has a faithful following in the Northern Neck and our guests are introducing it to communities across the globe. Bring a bit of the Tides back with you by making Lancaster Lemonade at home! The recipe for Lancaster Lemonade can be found on tidesinn.com.

Virginia Wine & OystersIt’s not just the Tides’ distinctive location, where the Chesapeake Bay Wine Trail and the Virginia Oyster Trail meet, that makes our culinary program so great - it’s also the quality of the Tides-to-Table cuisine prepared by executive chef TV Flynn, and the beautifully curated wine list by our Sommelier at the Chesapeake Club.
