VAIL CO. — Ready for some hot chocolate? Not just any run of the mill kind. This Haute Chocolate is rich chocolaty goodness poured over a house made marshmallow and a lace of dark chocolate into a giant cup.
This hot chocolate has amassed so many fans on Instagram that during the winter, there are lines to get it—from many who aren’t Four Seasons Vail guests. This winter there will be some
Spa rituals incorporating chocolate and of course the hot chocolate—think a full body exfoliation with cacao and spice, botanical rich body elixir, facial, massage and ending with the unique hot chocolate.
The luxury resort not only boasts the largest hotel rooms in the Vail Valley but residences up to six bedrooms and Vail’s newest restaurant, Tavernetta Vail, the newest from the James Beard Foundation Award-winning Frasca Hospitality Group.
Start at the Tuscan inspired Spritz window for a cocktail or book the inaugural Truffle and Barolo Wine Dinner in December. For Thanksgiving, there will be a special Buffet in the Meadows complete with raw bar, poke station, and cheesecake bar. Come hungry!
For Christmas, Whovail returns with a Whoville-inspired gingerbread house and gingerbread making with the chef.
This will be a great place to watch the famous torchlight parade and New Years Firework after, of course, testing your mettle on Vail’s legendary slopes.
