Fests Up! August in The Mad River Valley

August is Art in The Mad River Valley, and there are plenty of things to do here every day of the month! The Valley is home to the Vermont Festival of the Arts. Whether your artistic gig is painting, photography, music, theater, dance, pottery, woodworking, culinary or all of the above, it's all here. Rather than reproduce here an entire month's calendar of festival events, which they've already done quite nicely, here's a link to the website for the Vermont Festival of the Arts.

Our contribution to this year's festival in the culinary category is World Culinary Odyssey. Hope you can join us for a fabulous feast of intriguing world cuisine while enjoying other festival activities!

Beyond Arts Fest, here are our top picks for August's events in and about The Mad River Valley:

World Culinary Odyssey - A Passport for your Palate

Beginning on Monday, August 1, join us at Weathertop Mountain Inn for a culinary tour of the globe. Our culinary contribution to this year's Vermont Festival of the Arts will be artfully prepared 4-course feasts from around the globe.

In prior years, we presented Asian Culinary Odyssey - a tour of the cuisines of Asia. In 2010, we expanded our portfolio to include some of the foods we've fallen in love with during our travels, and called our event World Culinary Odyssey. This year, Weathertop can become your own private dining room for an evening with World Culinary Odyssey!

All you need to do is come up with a group of 6-18 hungry, adventurous foodies, reserve an available date (any day except Saturdays) & time (any start time from 6-8 PM, one seating please...), choose an interesting menu, and you're on your way to an exotic destination...

Choosing a menu can be as interactive as you desire. Pick a country or region of the world, let us know of any meat, seafood, or vegetarian likes or dislikes, and we'll come up with a 4-course adventure to excite your palate and expand your horizons! As always, we will also feature an eclectic selection of very reasonably priced beer, wine, and saké to pair with your chosen menu.

No passport or visa is required, but please bring a hearty appetite!

Dinner is priced at $42 per person, tax included.

Please contact us at 802-496-4909 to "book your passage"...
Can't come up with a party of 6? Let us know of any dates for which you have an interest in dining with us. If another group books an event for that evening, and they don't mind others joining them, we'll call you!

To give you some ideas of what is possible, here are the menus we offered in 2010:
