Ritual Chocolate Factory Tours

Utah’s own Ritual Chocolate has thrown open the doors of their Heber City factory for public tours and tastings. Each public tour experience provides insight into Ritual Chocolate’s entire production process from cacao bean to chocolate bar, including tastes of a selection of holiday products available for purchase. 

The tours take place at the Ritual Chocolate Tasting Room (2175 West 3000 South, Ste. 100, Heber, Utah) on Fridays at 11 am and Saturdays at 1 pm and take about 45 minutes.  For guests looking to learn and try even more chocolate, or gift the experience to a fellow chocolate lover, Private Tours are also available. Visit ritualchocolate.com for more information and to reserve a spot. The cost is $25 per person. 

New Log Haven Dishes

Chef Dave Jones and Sous Chefs Todd Hoffee and Steve Takahashi have added some tempting new dishes to the Log Haven dinner menu. 

A new small plate option is Miso Crab Cakes with crab and shrimp-nori mousseline, creamy avocado, yuzu aioli, and micro pea shoots. I especially love the new Grilled Prawns entree with tomatillo-roasted green chile “pozole,” house-made chorizo, avocado, chipotle creme fraiche, salsa Macha, sliced radishes, and crisp tortilla strips. 

High West Kicks Off The Winter Season

High West is kicking off their winter season with Sunday Brunch, a new Distillery Dinner Series, and Prix-Fixe Menus. The folks at High West invite guests to “Toast winter’s arrival with a variety of unique dining experiences with High West Distillery. Gather at The Refectory for Sunday Brunch buffets and a lively Distillery Winter Dinner Series, enjoy intimate prix-fixe dinners at The Nelson Cottage, and stop in – or ski in – to the historic Saloon for a full list of seasonal cocktails and alpine inspired Western fare.”

“On behalf of the High West team, we are thrilled to unveil our new winter menus, award-winning spirits and craft cocktails for what we know will be a bustling winter season,” said High West Executive Chef Michael Showers. “Each High West location offers a distinct dining experience, and we invite guests to raise a glass with us and enjoy a truly authentic Western experience, no matter the occasion.” 

At The Refectory in Wanship, guests can enjoy  a Sunday Brunch Buffet featuring a weekly rotating menu including a carving station, seafood, waffle station, cheese and charcuterie, sweets and traditional breakfast items. $65 per person.

The Nelson Cottage by High West offers an ever-evolving prix-fixe menu, thoughtfully redesigned every few weeks by High West’s talented chefs using the finest local ingredients. The night begins with a High West Ambassador-led whiskey tasting before dinner commences. Each dinner is enhanced with optional whiskey pairings to complement each course. A unique selection of seasonal craft cocktails, an extensive wine list available by the glass or bottle, and a curated selection of craft beers are also available. Dinner is $110 per person with an optional $70 whiskey pairing, featuring a variety of High West whiskeys both new and from the archive. An additional elevated Whiskey Pairing will be available, and this will be priced according to selection. The Nelson Cottage does not accommodate children. 

The Saloon in historic Park City features signature High West dishes every night, along with an extensive cocktail menu. Seating is available on a first-come, first served basis for guests age 21+. Shop the General Store seven days a week for bottles of the latest spirits and High West branded goods.
