Enchanted Forest Adventure Dinner

Wed, Oct 30 | 6 PM
Adventure Dinner Clubhouse, Colchester, VT

We gathered our forest friends and cast our sweetest (and saltiest) charms for this enchanting evening feast at Adventure Dinner’s brand-new event venue. 

Guests enjoyed a witching hour in our ghost-filled lounge and den, where we set out a lush grazing spread to whet our earthly appetite. Tarot readings flowed all evening, as did the tipples and potions from our Spooky Bar, which offered potent potables for purchase all night long. 

We transformed our venue into a forest of wonder, and our long tables were filled to the edges with a multi-course, family-style dinner featuring dishes creatively imagined to enliven your inner woodland sprite.

Our evening was lit by candles and our auras, with a tarot reading included in the ticket price.
