Welcome to Shenandoah Kitchen at the Victorian Inn

The home that is now the Victorian Inn has graced East Main Street since it was built during the era that shares its name. The original owners were Henry and Laura Weiner. Henry was a supervisor at the DeFord Tannery, a major industry in Luray until the mid twentieth century.

The house has witnessed the arrival of the railroads, the discovery of Luray Caverns and the establishment of Shenandoah National Park. As the area became a thriving vacation destination, this romantic Victorian Inn has played a part in the revival of downtown Luray.

In celebration of that more genteel time, Chef Marcus Olson and the staff at Shenandoah Kitchen strive to prepare fresh, local ingredients in an innovative fashion. They welcome you to enjoy Chef Marcus’s award-winning talent, now married with the Southern hospitality for which Virginia is famous.
