Ritual Chocolate has announced a new collaboration with Deer Valley Resort, celebrating the launch of Ritual’s first-ever milk chocolate blend.
“Crafted with the same care and commitment to flavor that define Ritual’s bean-to-bar approach, the Deer Valley Resort Mountain Milk Chocolate Bar was created to honor the spirit of the mountains and the joy of shared experiences that bring people together. The new bar is available now at retail locations at Deer Valley Resort. Our partnership with Deer Valley feels like the perfect way to introduce our new milk chocolate,” said Anna Seear, Co-Founder and President of Ritual Chocolate. “Both brands share a love for craftsmanship, community, and the mountain lifestyle, and this bar captures all of that in one bite.”
“A blend of organic, sustainably-grown cacao and grassfed A2 milk, the Deer Valley Mountain Milk Chocolate Bar offers an approachable indulgence for every palate and occasion, whether on the slopes or around the table. This latest addition to Ritual Chocolate’s growing portfolio is available at Deer Valley Resort retail outlets. To shop the full line of Ritual Chocolate products, visit ritualchocolate.com.”
Cena Ristorante Reopens
The Forbes-Four Star Chateaux Deer Valley, part of the esteemed Stein Collection, has unveiled their newly reimagined Cena Ristorante & Lounge, the luxury hotel’s flagship restaurant. The restaurant is now open for guests for the 25/26 ski season.
“We are excited for visitors to join us for the much-anticipated reopening of Cena, which experienced a sweeping transformation this fall in time for the winter season,” said Russ Olsen, President & CEO of Stein Collection. “Guests can enjoy Cena’s house-made Italian cuisine and full bar service in the comfort of a reinvigorated dining space, providing a brand new way to experience The Chateaux Deer Valley.”
According to the folks at the Chateaux Deer Valley, “After a nearly $800,000 investment in the restaurant and bar renovation, Cena’s refreshed aesthetic marries indoor and outdoor elements with the introduction of natural design elements and warm, light woods. The interior and outdoor patios are now linked by double French doors, inviting a light, airy feel for guests enjoying a meal or après cocktails. The restaurant’s new distinctive dining sections embody a welcoming mountain modern theme, including a private dining room that can comfortably accommodate more than 30 guests for a more intimate space to gather. Cena’s transformation extends to the renovated lobby and lounge, providing a grand, cohesive welcome as soon as guests walk through the door.”
Cena’s new executive chef, Tobin Torrez, leads the restaurant’s culinary team. To celebrate Cena’s grand re-opening, Chef Torrez has created a brand new winter menu of fine Italian cuisine directly inspired by the redesign. Breakfast for two is included with every leisure stay, and lunch and dinner reservations are now available on Resy.
