Late March is sugaring season, and The Essex is spending four nights of it in the kitchen. All About Maple is a cooking getaway built around one ingredient: you cook with it, bake with it, mix drinks with it and go see where it comes from.
The schedule runs through workshops at The Essex Kitchen on knife skills, baking, maple-focused cooking, and cocktails and mocktails, plus a trip to Runamok's sugarhouse. Breakfast is included daily, you eat what you make in select workshops, and evenings end around the fire pit with s'mores.
It costs $2,000 per person sharing a room, or $2,332 if you come alone, and it is for adults 21 and over. A non-refundable one-night deposit holds the spot and the rest is due at check-in. The resort sends a form for dietary needs that has to be back by March 15.
