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.

Pig + Pasture
Saturday, November 4, 4:00 pm
Chelsea, VT
Grab your favorite fall flannel and join us for a barn feast like you've never seen! Follow our directions through the woods to arrive at a small slice of farm heaven. You'll start with a trek through pastures and over creeks, emerging on the heritage homestead site when the farm was founded hundreds of years ago.
Buried earth cooked pigs, smoked cocktails and the bounty of fall harvest await you in a barn filled to the brim with warmth and locally-sourced food.
A portion of each ticket will be donated to efforts to rebuild Puerto Rico.
Wear comfortable shoes for a stroll on the farm. Event is rain or shine (and fun both ways). Veggie option available by request.

Orchard
Saturday, July 15, 2017
Addison County, VT
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.
