Adirondack Christmas In July

That's right - Christmas in July! Did you know about this popular celebration in many parts of the world? Well, Lucky Clover Farms and their majestic draft horses, who provide our lantern-lit sleigh rides in winter, have outfitted their Stagecoach, wagon, and horses with Christmas revelry! Savor our signature Adirondack Alps Dinner crafted with Farm-to-Fork ingredients, and you will also be given the secret password to enter the Speakeasy–err, library! Beware, though, one of Santa’s naughty elves may be a 1920’s Copper, and you may be raided!

Nearly every alcoholic beverage, from beer and wine to cocktails, is born from the botanicals of Mother Nature. Throughout much of history, they were as medicinal as an elixer, and their evolution not only became what we know today but also changed history. What better place to learn about the natural origins of ancient beers, spirits, and tonics than the Adirondacks?! Ride, sample, and taste through this rich history by viewing their natural roots on our nature trails and then stopping for the tasting stations as we flavor nature's “spirits” and foods.  From the use of pine tree resin to make and preserve wine to the botanicals of juniper, thyme, dandelions, honey, apples, and countless others, learn how their use and innovations made what we drink as well as critical ingredients of the foods we eat today. Think smoked salmon in a berry relish, apple strudel, and our honey bourbon Giggle Water!
