The Thanksgiving table may be the centerpiece of the holiday, but the hours spent preparing it don’t have to be part of the tradition.

For an additional touch of indulgence, the resort’s Chef’s Table experience, available as an optional dining enhancement, offers a more intimate way to celebrate, with thoughtfully prepared cuisine taking center stage.
