Savour the Festive Season at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail

This festive season, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail is transforming into a mountainside winter wonderland. From Thanksgiving through January, the resort invites guests and the community to experience Vail’s holiday season with signature après-ski, holiday menus, and wintertime programming. A delight for all ages, Four Seasons Vail welcomes this special time of year with warmth and cheer.

Snowy Sips

After a frosty day on the slopes, guests are welcome to refuel with the resort’s signature drinks and dishes. At Tavernetta Vail, the newest restaurant from the James Beard Foundation Award-winning Frasca Hospitality Group and OpenTable’s top hotel restaurant in Colorado, be whisked away to the Italian Alps for Après-Tivo, an Italian take on Après Ski, or “Buzz for Spritz” at the Tuscan-inspired Spritz Window for a refreshing cocktail (reservations here). For those looking to warm up, head over to The Remedy Bar for the beloved Haute Chocolate. Made by an “in Haus” Chocolatier and available with add-in whiskey or peppermint schnapps, the Haute Chocolate features a house-made marshmallow, perched atop a chocolate lattice that melts away as the signature drink is poured tableside (reservations here).

Autumn Delights at Tavernetta Vail

Tavernetta Vail is giving thanks with special autumn menus. On Wednesday, November 19, 2025,  Tavernetta Vail presents its inaugural Truffle & Barolo Wine Dinner. This exclusive multi-course meal features fragrant white truffles shaved tableside, select dishes accented with black truffles, and pairings of benchmark Nebbiolo wines, including the legendary Barolo. On Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 27), Tavernetta harkens back to northern Italian traditions with specials such as Honeynut Squash Friulian Cjalson Dumplings, alongside its main menu.

Classic Thanksgiving at Four Seasons Vail

For a traditional Thanksgiving meal, The Remedy welcomes guests to enjoy an a la carte menu.

Culminating in a restorative massage, the treatment ends fireside with a signature cup of The Remedy’s Haute Chocolate.
