Dine at the Gabriel Archer Tavern and Godspeed Galley Bar
Your unforgettable culinary experience awaits at our European-inspired, full-service dining establishment that offers a true farm-to-table experience. Pull up a chair to celebrate the flavors that define Coastal Virginia while simultaneously showcasing the world-class bounty found throughout the Commonwealth.

The Tavern is named for Gabriel Archer, one of Jamestown’s most significant early leaders who co-captained the Godspeed, the lead ship among the three vessels that brought the men who founded the first permanent new settlement in the English New World. Archer envisioned the settlement at the mouth of the creek that was to be named “Archer’s Hope”. While Capt. John Smith overruled the idea by placing the settlement on Jamestown Island, the winery honors Archer’s request as Archer’s Hope is essentially the Wessex Hundred farm.

The Godspeed Galley Bar takes its name from the very ship that carried Gabriel Archer across the Atlantic on that momentous 1607 voyage. Just as the Godspeed provided sustenance and camaraderie for the men on their journey to the New World, our bar is meant to be a welcoming gathering place for friends to share good company, conversation, and refreshments. The name celebrates both the spirit of exploration and the sense of fellowship that has always been at the heart of taverns throughout history.
