Father's Day Country Brunch at Black Twig: June 21

A Father's Day Brunch Worth the Drive to Sperryville

If your dad has ever air-guitared to Merle Haggard or quoted Hank Williams at family dinners, here's your Sunday plan: The Black Twig Diner & Bar in Sperryville is hosting a Father's Day Classic Country Brunch on Sunday, June 21, 2026, from noon to 3 PM — and the music is live.

Justin Follin & The Good Time Band are headlining the patio, bringing what the event billing calls a classic country sound — the kind that pairs naturally with a long Blue Ridge summer afternoon, a cold drink, and something good off the farm-to-table menu.

About The Black Twig Diner & Bar

The Black Twig occupies a piece of Sperryville history: a restored schoolhouse along Lee Highway that has been converted into one of the most distinctive dining rooms in Rappahannock County. The kitchen leans hard into farm-to-table sourcing, drawing ingredients from the farms and producers that define this rural stretch of the Blue Ridge foothills.

The patio — where Sunday's brunch will unfold — is a particular draw in summer, framed by the kind of unhurried countryside that makes the two-hour drive from DC feel very much worth it. On a clear June afternoon with live country music drifting across the lawn, it's the sort of scene that turns a Father's Day obligation into a genuine memory.

Make a Day of It in Sperryville

Sperryville is small but deeply rewarding for a Sunday afternoon. Before or after brunch, the village offers a cluster of independent stops worth wandering into. Sperryville Pottery at 42 Main Street has handcrafted pieces and classes. The former apple-packing warehouse at 7 River Lane houses River District Arts studios and the River District Potters collaborative. Juba Mountain Pottery on Juba Mountain Lane specializes in salt-fired stoneware.

For a drink before or after, Hopkins Ordinary Ale Works at 47 Main Street is a cellar brewery tucked beneath a B&B, pouring small-batch unfiltered beers with a beer garden out back — a natural complement to a summer afternoon in the village.

Note: Several Sperryville venues have shown limited recent activity online. It's worth calling ahead to confirm hours before building your full itinerary around any single stop.
