Opening Weekend Feast
Saturday, April 12
Join us as we kick off the 2025 season with a special Opening Weekend Feast, featuring Ty Walker of Smoke In Chimneys and Will and Cornelia Hodges of Troddenvale at Oakley Farm.
Ty will be onsite, expertly smoking his Virginia-raised trout fillets, which will be served alongside Fort Lewis’ signature sides and Troddenvale’s cider.
The evening will commence with a cocktail hour, where guests can savor Ty’s smoked trout dip while watching the smoking process firsthand. Meanwhile, Troddenvale tastings will be available at the bar.
We’ll then gather for a seasonally inspired feast, celebrating the rich flavors of locally sourced ingredients.
This exclusive dinner is included with an overnight stay. Book your room here.
