Farm-to-Table Excellence in Two Distinctive Settings.
Our location in Vermont lets us source ingredients at the peak of their flavor. Butter and cheese from local dairies. Beef, chicken, and pork from nearby farms. Herbs, vegetables, and fruits that flourish in the warm Vermont sun. We supplement that bounty with produce fresh from our own gardens, syrup from our maples, and honey from our hives. The resulting dishes sing with the season — elevated by the creativity and technique of our culinary artisans.
Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with
ever-changing menus.
Our Culinary Team, led by Executive Chef Nathan Rich, Executive Pastry Chef Chris Wilson, and Chef de Cuisine Sylvain Courbet. You will have the opportunity of choosing a Multi-Course Tasting Menu or from an À la Carte Menu.
À la Carte Menu
The À la Carte Menu complements the Tasting Menu offered at dinner in the Dining Room. Choose from a variety of seasonally inspired hors d’oeuvres, classic entrees with a Twin Farms flare, and delicious desserts, or mix and match as you please.
Multi-Course Tasting Menu
The multi-course Tasting Menu is inspired by the farms and ranches that are at the heart of Vermont life. Using the freshest ingredients, courses are curated to build on each other while highlighting the best of locally sourced produce. The Tasting Menu is your opportunity to let our Chefs share their gastronomic expertise from start to finish. Of course, food allergies will be considered throughout and guests dining with us for multiple evenings will enjoy a slightly modified Tasting Menu from night to night.
