The VMT Winter Food Experience
A Day of Dining in Winter
Breakfast: Start your day with a wholesome breakfast featuring farm-fresh eggs, artisanal bread, and seasonal preserves. Our coffee comes from the famous Oso Negro in Nelson, and our selection of tea and herbal drinks is thoughtfully curated
Lunch: Everyday, we prepare a different and creative sandwich or wrap for you; the only thing left for you to decide is which treat to pick—will it be one of our cookies, brownies, Nanaimo bars or energy balls ?
Après-Ski: The culinary rewards awaiting you are varied, ranging from a charcuterie board, a cheese platter, seasonal soup or nachos.
Dinner: Each evening, our chefs prepare a multi-course dinner highlighting the best of local ingredients. Expect bold flavours, creative presentations, and a touch of mountain-inspired magic.
Our Chef Team
Our winter chef team is composed of individuals who share a passion for both food and the mountains. Their dedication to creating memorable meals shines through in every bite.
Commitment to Sustainability
Over the past two years, we’ve worked diligently to build relationships with local farms and food suppliers. This commitment has allowed us to craft menus that are not only delicious but also sustainable. We’ve even created a specialized role within our operation to ensure that our food sourcing remains local and regenerative. Winter vegetable storage has become an integral part of our mission, allowing us to bring farm-fresh ingredients to your plate even in the snowiest months.
