Hands-on cooking experiences might be a dime a dozen these days, but the Viceroy Snowmass goes above and beyond with a luxe culinary adventure set in the Colorado wilderness. With 28,000 acres of deep canyons, open meadows, and wooded rivers as the backdrop, hotel guests can traverse a world-class upland bird habitat to hunt dove, blue grouse, duck, pheasant, goose, and other seasonal fowl alongside the hotel’s executive chef, Will Nolan, and an expert from the prestigious Aspen Outfitting Company.
Post-hunt, the action continues in the privacy of guests’ rooms, where chef Nolan leads an in-depth butchering and cooking class. The grand finale, of course, is the chance to sit down in the comfort of your own suite to a feast that’s sure to top any farm-to-table dining experience in town.
