Which handler will receive the catering on the ramp?

We deliver to whichever handler is holding your aircraft at Shenandoah Valley Regional. Simply confirm the handler name when you brief us and we coordinate directly with them.

Can you source produce locally from the Shenandoah Valley?

Yes. The valley's farms, orchards, and artisan producers are part of our active sourcing network, and Charlottesville's broader food community is within easy reach. Seasonal availability governs what we can confirm, which is why early briefing helps.

Do you cater crew meals as well as the passenger cabin?

Crew meals are a standard part of every brief we take. They are packaged separately, clearly labelled, and planned to suit crew rest and duty schedules rather than passenger service timing.

What lead time is required for a kosher order?

Kosher catering requires a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice to allow for certified preparation and proper chain-of-custody packaging. Please flag this requirement at the point of first contact.

Can you handle a multi-leg trip departing SHD and continuing to other airports?

Yes. Our worldwide network means that a single brief covers every leg. Your point of contact coordinates each uplift location so that standards and presentation remain consistent across the full itinerary.

Is catering available for early-morning or late-night departures?

We operate around the clock. The runway at KSHD is lighted for night operations, and our kitchen and logistics teams are structured to match whatever departure time your trip demands.

Inflight Catering · Weyers Cave

Private aviation catering at SHD

Weyers Cave sits at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, a region whose farms, orchards, and creameries have supplied American tables for generations. That agricultural depth is not incidental to what we do — it shapes every menu we put on board at SHD, with produce sourced from the valley floor and delivered fresh to the aircraft. Charlottesville lies forty-one kilometres to the east, anchoring a food culture that punches well above its size: serious charcuterie, Virginian wine country, and some of the Mid-Atlantic's most thoughtful artisan producers. We draw on that wider larder when a brief calls for something beyond the immediately local, keeping the provenance honest and the supply chain short.

Regional Catering Menu · Weyers Cave

Weyers Cave inflight catering

Virginia's piedmont and valley tradition gives our menus genuine regional character: country ham aged in the old Shenandoah style, apple-based preparations from the orchards around Bridgewater, Monticello-inspired heirloom vegetable dishes, and trout sourced from the cold streams of the surrounding mountains. Each element is selected because it travels well and arrives in the cabin exactly as intended. For aircraft operating out of KSHD, we structure menus around the single-aisle reality of the ramp — precise portioning, secure galley packaging, and timing calibrated to wheels-up. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum twenty-four hours' notice, and all dietary briefs are treated as fixed constraints rather than preferences.
