Trinity Farm Wining and Dining Guidebook
Trinity Farm-Recommended Restaurants
Lots of restaurants in the surrounding area, but these are our favorites within easy driving distance. NOTE:
**Many local restaurants have hours subject to change/season/special events so check before you leave
**Some non-restaurant options include like Fayetteville Store (Hunt's Pizza), Hruska's in nearby Ellinger (breakfast pastries, wine, snacks) and Little Cheese Shop in Round Top (everything you need for a stellar cheese board!).
**During Antiques Weeks, there are pop-up restaurants at most of the venues that are very good. Our favorites are Simply Delish at The Compound and Liberty Kitchen at Bader Ranch
