This program is exclusive to Best of Times customers and will offer a unique culinary experience emphasizing Vermont foods such as Maple Mustard Chicken, Traditional Roasted Vermont Tom Turkey, Vermont Cheddar Ale Soup using local cheese and Long Trail Ale, Maple Walnut Pie, and much, much more. Oh, and by the way did we mention that Bill Bauer had culinary training at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY? Be sure to bring your bathing suits as The Summit offers a beautiful heated outdoor pool, a large heated indoor whirlpool, plus a sauna & Jacuzzi. You will surely be dazzled by the beauty surrounding this wonderful property and enjoy the fresh clean air that only the mountains can offer.
Day One: Our trip to the Mountains begins as our motorcoach winds through the highways of Vermont swooping from high vantage points over the colorful gentle rolling hills that speak the essence of nature decked out in her finest attire. We arrive in Killington Vermont for lunch at The Grist Mill on Summit pond. Enjoy a hearty meal and maybe even take some time to feed the ducks. After lunch take time to enjoy the wonderful amenities of this terrific property. Loads of activities are available such as tennis on one of the Summit’s 4 clay courts, bocche ball, & shuffle board. Or, just relax in your bathing suit by the swimming pool, or perhaps enjoy a warm jacuzzi. Attend a cooking demonstration with our very own Maple Man. Learn the facts about Vermont’s Liquid Gold and the special recipes that our Maple Man will share. Taste test the recipes! Whatever your pleasure the Summit Lodge has plenty of tranquility to melt away and soak in the fresh mountain air. This evening join us for our 5pm Innkeepers Cocktail Party with complimentary hors d’oeuvres & wine and draft beer priced @ only $1.00. We’ll enjoy a delightful dinner with evening entertainment to wind down our day.
Day Two: We start our morning with a Hearty Breakfast off the menu before heading out for the day. We begin with a stop in Woodstock Historic Village with some time for shopping and browsing this quaint Vermont treasure. After departing Woodstock, VT we stop at Quechee Gorge known as Vermont’s “Little Grand Canyon” for some magnificent views from the bridge the spans the 165-ft chasm. Afterwards we depart for lunch on our own before heading home with great memories of our “Taste of Vermont”.
