it's time to Adventure.
Adventure Dinners are speakeasy-style gatherings in unexpected places. We collaborate with other Vermont makers and local food producers to create dining experiences unlike any other. Be prepared to be on your toes; RSVP to a dinner and you'll get the exact starting location texted 24 hours before the event.
Adventure Dinners are organized and hosted by Stonecutter Spirits, a craft distillery focused on the art of aging gin and whiskey in Middlebury, Vermont.
next adventure dinner: Orchard
Saturday, July 15, 2017
Addison County, VT (less than an hour from Burlington area)
Fire, cocktails, sunset--this is the summer fete you've been dreaming would happen. Guests arrive at a Cornwall orchard and receive a map to explore the farm as one only hopes--wandering through a maze of old apple trees to discover feasts hidden between the groves.
Starting with clambake a la plancha--a tantalizing combination of sea and fire--and ending with a sit-down feast facing the Adirondacks at dusk, this is a meal and adventure you won't want to miss.
Wear comfortable shoes for a stroll on the farm. Event is rain or shine (and fun both ways). Veggie option available by request.
Optional rustic sleepover available; light breakfast and coffee served in the morning.
