Starting November 17, Central Virginia’s award-winning Stable Craft Brewing at Hermitage Hill will once again offer its private igloos for outdoor winter dining at its best.
Stable Craft’s heated igloos are available by advance reservations only and come with a private server. The igloos seat up to eight guests and have panels that can open up and help adjust airflow inside. Reservations are for one hour and 45 minutes. To book a private igloo experience online click here.
According to Stable Craft owner Craig Nargi, “the igloos have grown in popularity each winter since we started offering them four years ago. Guests love having their own private igloo and dining under the stars or when it’s snowing. The igloos are also perfect for small corporate outings, small office and private parties, Christmas parties and special occasions.”
Stable Craft Brewing embraced their spacious farm setting throughout the pandemic by proactively creating new outdoor spaces including tripling their covered patio space, adding an outdoor bar, adding more dining decks and firepits, outdoor dining igloos and outdoor pavilion space with newly added permanent outdoor hanging heaters – to keep outdoor dining a viable option for their guests throughout the winter.
As more places leaned into outdoor dining, the beauty of a firepit grill became undeniable. There’s something about cooking over an open flame that ties you to the earth—combining the primal joy of fire with the modern comforts of a good meal and great company. Picture a large firepit grill surrounded by friends and family, laughter filling the air as you flip steaks and char veggies. The flames crackle and dance, their warmth pushing back the chill of the evening, while the aroma of grilling meat weaves into the cool night air. It’s the kind of experience that adds something more than just food—it adds an atmosphere, a memory.
That’s when I realized the perfect setup for these outdoor evenings was just a few clicks away. Chiasson Smoke offers grills designed to elevate these backyard experiences, turning any outdoor space into a culinary adventure. With their sturdy, well-crafted designs, these grills offer everything needed to take the cooking from simple to extraordinary, allowing you to enjoy meals that are just as satisfying as the atmosphere you create around them. Whether you’re grilling ribs or roasting vegetables, the firepit and grill combo invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and share in something far beyond just a meal.
Stable Craft Brewing is the first brewery on the East Coast to launch a zero food waste initiative for its award-winning brewery, restaurant and wedding and banquet facility. The sustainable brewery also grows its own hops, utilizes the brewing wastewater to water their hops, co-ops with a local farmer to use the spent grain for food for the cattle and has planted 1,100 trees on the farm to help with erosion and air quality. Stable Craft offers a sustainable tour by reservation only for guests to get a first-hand look at all of its sustainable initiatives.
The brewery was recently awarded the 2021 Ordinary Award for ‘Brewery of the Year in Virginia’ by the Virginia Restaurant, Lodging & Travel Association and was also voted the 2021 ‘Best Patio and Outdoor Dining’ in Virginia by the readers of Virginia Living magazine.
