Adventure Lodge Launch Party: Fondue Feast

Saturday, Nov 20
5:00 pm
Vergennes, VT

We threw on our best vintage sweaters for our launch party at our pop-up, the Adventure Lodge!

For this feast, we transformed a 3,000 sq ft industrial space into a winter wonderland, complete with indoor forest, bocce court, and festive lodge dining hall.

Guests bellied on up to our 18’ bar for aprés hour, the perfect time for noshing on our 70s-inspired grazing spread while sipping on a paired cocktail. After a few rounds of bocce, we progressed to our opulent lodge dining room an indulgent, sit-down dinner boasting the most incredible fondue spread we could imagine—vintage pots of bubbling Jasper Hill and Shelburne Cheddar fondue alongside bowls of local potatoes, baskets of toasted bread, dishes of brightly colored pickles, and crunchy winter salads. We kept glasses full of alpine wines as partygoers dug in to this decadent feast.

After dinner we gathered ‘round our 15 foot lit tree to enjoy yule log cake, sips of spiked hot chocolate, and a few folks snuck in extra rounds of bocce. Once our bellies were full we donned our gay outdoor apparel one more time for a special sparkler send-off.

Each ticket included: a 70’s grazing table, fondue feast, yule log sweet treat, three paired drinks, bocce and forest fun, sparkler send-off.

Note about fondue: each guest had an individual bowl to ladle their oozing cheese into for private dipping.
