Join us for an intimate, chef-driven dining experience celebrating the craft of Virginia whiskey in partnership with A. Smith Bowman Distillery, one of Fredericksburg’s most celebrated local distilleries. This elevated evening features a thoughtfully curated five-course tasting menu, with each course paired to a distinct A. Smith Bowman whiskey expression. Our culinary team has designed each dish to complement and enhance the nuanced character of the spirits—from delicate aromatics and layered spice to rich, lingering finishes. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy guided commentary on each pairing, offering insight into the distillation process, flavor development, and the inspiration behind both the menu and the spirits. Expect refined hospitality, seasonal ingredients, and an atmosphere designed for savoring every detail.
The Editor’s Terrace is a versatile, light-filled space enclosed in a striking glass atrium. Seamlessly connected to Five Chophouse, it accommodates up to 50 guests for private events, banquet-style dinners, or everyday dining with a touch of elevated charm. Whether reserved exclusively or enjoyed as part of the restaurant experience, the terrace is an inspired setting for seasonal celebrations and unforgettable moments.
