We are excited to be hosting our First Annual Claremont European Adventure: A Viking River Boat Cruise in the South of France. We’re sailing Aug. 1 to Aug. 8, 2018, and we would love it if you joined us! We will be traveling from Avignon to Lyon on an eight-day adventure. This is where Dave went to cooking school, and we are excited to go back. Here is an overview. Sail along France’s scenic Rhône River past some of the most beautiful vistas the French countryside has to offer. During your eight- day journey, explore the famed region of Burgundy and the lavender fields of Provence. Visit Gallo-Roman ruins in both Vienne and Arles. Walk the cobbled streets of Arles to see how it inspired Vincent van Gogh. Visit the historic Papal Palace in Avignon, “City of the Popes.” Learn about the region’s time-honored winemaking traditions, sample Beaujolais varietals, and try the world-famous regional cuisine in Lyon. C’est magnifique!

delicious appetizers and lots of hijinks. An incredible dinner is had by all, and then the unthinkable happens — yes, a murder! The rest of the evening is spent trying to figure out “who done it?” With the help of the inspector and an investigation by the surefooted Stratton Police Department, a solution is sure to be found. The evening is capped off with dessert coffee and a selection of Claremont Winery port and dessert wines. Laughs abound as everyone rehashes the evening’s performances. You will not be the same person when you go back to work on Monday. You’ll have bragging rights to tell your coworkers all about your starring role in the Claremont Inn & Winery Murder Mystery!

If you’re tired of the everyday ho-hum — go to work, come home, do nothing fun — this is just the thing! About 10 days prior to your murder mystery event, we will send each character a dossier, which provides background information on all the players, your own secrets and clues, and just enough information to make you dangerous! Costume tips and a description of the theme are included to make planning easy.
TESTIMONIALS
“This was the perfect overnight getaway. The property was very nice, the rooms were great, and the food was amazing. The wine tasting was a great time, and the server that we had was very knowledgeable about the wines and the business. We’re hoping to go back soon.” –Jacob Nelson
“Beautiful decor, awesome service, delicious wine, and scrumptious meals. There are plenty of opportunities to socialize with guests, hosts, and staff, but there’s also enough time and space for being alone. It’s exactly as advertised and what we wanted and needed. We’ll definitely be back.” –Eileen Proctor

Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Place the bread in a single layer on a sheet pan and bake for 20 minutes, tossing once, until lightly browned. Set aside. 2. Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the pancetta, raise the heat to medium, and cook for 5 minutes, until browned. Stir in the onions, celery, and apple and cook over medium to medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the sherry, rosemary, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoons pepper and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, until most of the liquid is gone. Turn off the heat, stir in parsley. 3. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, cream, chicken stock, and 1 cups of the Gruyere in a very large bowl. Stir in the bread and the vegetable mixture and set aside for 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard. Pour into a 9-by-13-by-2-inch oven-to-table baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cup of Gruyere and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is browned and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Serve hot. Happy Holidays!!!
