Of course, they are best when enjoyed overlooking the stunning Chesapeake Bay and even better when served alongside some of the best Virginia wines.

Discover the Best Virginia Oysters
We’d argue that the best food you taste tells a story of where it’s from, which is exactly what you can expect when you slurp Virginia oysters. Oysters are so popular in the state that there’s even an oyster trail.

The northern neck of Virginia, also known as Virginia’s River Realm, is situated on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, like the Rappahannock River. This area produces 90% of all Virginia oysters, all of which come from 31 different commercial operations. To say Irvington, VA, is an oyster-centric town is an understatement!
