Set among the vineyard rows and island scenery, this special gathering celebrates the connection between local farms, fresh food, and community. Guests will enjoy a thoughtfully prepared multi-course dinner featuring seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and producers throughout the Champlain Valley.
The evening offers an opportunity to come together with cyclists, food lovers, farmers, and community supporters while raising funds that directly benefit local farms and agricultural programs throughout the region.
Enjoy locally crafted cuisine, vineyard views, and inspiring remarks from Farm to Fork Fitness partners and members of our farming community. A cash bar featuring Snow Farm wines, local beverages, and select specialty offerings will be available throughout the evening.
Whether you’re participating in the Fondo or simply looking for an exceptional farm-to-table experience, this dinner is a celebration of the people, land, and flavors that make the Champlain Islands so special.
