The Locke Store in Millwood, Virginia.
Nestled in the village of Millwood, the Locke Store has a history that reaches back to 1836. Built by James Clarke, the brick store is located across from the renowned Burwell-Morgan Merchant Mill. Today, the quaint “modern country” store has become a destination for foodies, wine lovers, and locavores.

The kitchen’s daily chalkboard menu includes Southern classics like tuna salad sandwiches and coconut cream pie. For customers looking to stock up on local goods, the store has everything from local honey to a highly curated Virginia wine selection. It also has a wine club, called the Cora-Vin Club, which was launched in 2018 to offer discounts on bottles, monthly wine or beer pairing dinners, tasting receptions and classes, and more.
The Buttery, the store’s new farm-to-table eatery, opened last year. Situated next door in an 1804 cabin, The Buttery features a large dining space, outdoor terrace, and fire pit. Popular menu items include house-made pasta, eggs
Benedict for brunch, and craft cocktails made with local spirits. (Note: The store and restaurant were closed at press time, but grocery items and cold prepared foods are available for pickup daily.) LockeStore.com
