    Our first visit to Palladio Restaurant at Barboursville Vineyards was an unforgettable experience. The food was delicious and incredibly fresh. I had the bison sirloin, which was tender, juicy, and perfectly prepared. The homemade bread was outstanding — we couldn’t get enough of it. This lunch gave us a wonderful taste of what we’ll experience on our upcoming trip to Italy.
