With the warmth of spring already
seeping into our limbs, it may be in order to escape the city for
nearby lush countryside, and the Adirondack mountains are a stupendous
and beneficial place to breathe some clean air (and escape the
never-ending sound of cell phones). Best of all, the Adirondack
Festival of Food and Wine is coming up on March 26-29 in the luxurious Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa.
Rated as a "AAA Four Diamond"
retreat, the Mirror Lake Inn promises a romantic weekend
with the gorgeous Adirondack countryside as its backdrop. In addition
to the beautiful scenery, guests will be blown away by the inn's Four
Star restaurant, The View (a culinary destination in its own right, the
View has received the Wine Spectator Dining Guide Award of Excellence nine consecutive times).?
The festivities are centered around food and wine events: tastings, culinary demonstrations, and even a cooking
competition presided by The View Executive Chef Greg Michaud (its
as if this was invented expressly for those many gays and lesbians who
love organic ingredients and have a competitive streak). We're
particularly excited by the promised maple syrup demonstration from a
local producers, and slightly less so about a visit from the makers of
P3, Lake Placid's new vodka .
The
festival costs $1395 per couple and $699 per person, which includes
accommodations, gourmet breakfast, and entry to all of the food and
wine events. Although it is rather pricey, remember that it's pennies compared to a weekend of gourmet food in New York City, not to mention with fresher ingredients, and the the peaceful quiet and majestic beauty of the Adirondack state park.
The complete itinerary and menu is available on the Mirror Lake Inn's website.
