Secret Adventure Dinners

Adventure Dinner Creates Socially Distant Dining Experiences

— October 8, 2020 — Lifestyle
Although many foodies feel frustrated that they're not able to enjoy their favorite restaurants exactly as before, socially distanced dining has challenged businesses to get creative and Adventure Dinner offers a unique experience. Based in Windsor, Vermont, Adventure Dinner creates custom playlists, shares secret locations for curbside pickup and shares a group experience via Zoom.

Earlier this summer, Adventure Dinner hosted a Tokyo Olympics event that led people to a hemlock maze and a secret location in a Japanese garden. Naturally, the menu took the form of a three-course Japanese-inspired feast and diners were united by a private dinner Zoom page so that they could make the most of an "opening ceremony" and a small private dinner party with the other diners also on the culinary adventure.
