Discover Mount Vernon
Home to President George Washington, the city of Mount Vernon, Virginia, has a rich history. Many visitors get their first taste of ham biscuits in this city, and many also learn that hickory-syrup slow-aged in whiskey barrels and served over a stack of pancakes hot off the griddle is a great way to start the day. Down-home cooking prepared with locally grown herbs and produce are served at many restaurants using recipes passed down for generations. Others, however, are doing creative twists on these classic favorites. Failed attempts by President Washington to grow grapes at his estate to make wine gave this city its name. Many restaurants serve Virginia wine to diners in beautiful settings overlooking the Potomac River.
