Certain occasions in life call for a more elevated dining experience. And in the case of Ocean House’s Fondue Village, that term is taken literally. This luxuriously cozy private dining adventure includes  a satisfying three-course lunch or dinner, plus vintage champagne selections. Here’s why you won’t want to miss it.

Ocean House is an iconic resort perched high on the bluffs of Watch Hill.

This year, they added two more gondolas and decided to call it Fondue Village.

Here’s how it works: you and the rest of your party will arrive on the Ocean House’s North Lawn, borrow a Columbia Grand Trek down jacket to stay cozy, then enter one of the restored Vermont Ski Gondolas.

Needless to say, this isn’t an inexpensive experience.
