Sweet, fresh and tender flavors mix it up with rich herb and mushroom tones.

Fondue Dinner in the Books


The first guests arrive and enjoy a traditional cherry cocktail



Olaiya prepared sumptuous platters of fine things to dip in cheese



Stringing the molten cheese across the table was just part of the fun!



We enjoyed a delicate riesling with our feast



And, as always, we finished with a delicious flourish!
