Many farms offer farm-to-table partnerships, allowing chefs to source directly and tell compelling stories about the region's terroir through their menus. The scenic mountain backdrop creates an intimate atmosphere for special gatherings — whether a quick weekend adventure or a week of relaxation with family and friends.
