Share five-star luxury with belted cows and fainting goats

Nestled on the site of a historic farm in the rolling hills of Pittsboro is Fearrington Village, home to a five-diamond inn, five-star restaurant and a selection of shops and homesites as well as gardens and pastures. The village mixes luxury with rustic farm life for a one-of-a-kind experience. The Fearrington House Inn, a Relais & Chateaux property, is a Forbes five-star property and was recently ranked by Forbes Travel Guide as the number one place in the nation for a luxury wedding. The Inn offers 32 distinct rooms featuring antiques, original Southern artwork and views of the property’s extensive gardens. The Fearrington House Restaurant is the nation’s only AAA Five Diamond restaurant that is Green Certified and has been ranked a top 50 restaurant in the U.S., based on more than 2 million reviews by OpenTable diners. For the past 30 years, the restaurant has been committed to exceptional farm-to-fork cuisine and executive chef Colin Bedford continues that tradition with a menu that reflects the seasons and the exceptional foods grown nearby. Fearrington’s Inn and Restaurant combine with a Village Center that features boutique shops, gourmet restaurants, a spa and an independent bookstore. The farm at Fearrington dates back to the 1770s and residing on the pasture today are belted cows that have become the symbol of the village, fainting goats and donkeys.
