The Inner Chef package for two includes exclusive room rates, an Essex-branded apron, an Essex Kitchen workshop for two, dinner for two at Junction and daily breakfast for two at The Lazy Goat Tavern. Reservations must be made at least 14 days before arrival. Class participation depends on the scheduled Essex Kitchen offerings and must be coordinated in advance. A one-night deposit is required at booking. A $30 processing fee applies to cancellations, and cancellations within 72 hours of arrival forfeit the deposit. Available by phone only: call 802-878-1100.

The Essex has a teaching kitchen on the property, and this package gets two of you into it. You spend a session at The Essex Kitchen preparing a three-course meal alongside one of the resort's chefs, then sit down and eat what you made.

The second dinner is the opposite: Junction, where the chefs do the work and you watch. Breakfast at The Lazy Goat Tavern is included each morning, the room comes at a package rate, and you each take home an Essex apron.

Because it depends on the class calendar, this one is booked by phone only, at least 14 days ahead. Call 802-878-1100 and have a couple of dates in mind so the front desk can match your stay to a scheduled class. A one-night deposit is due at booking, and cancelling inside 72 hours forfeits it.
