DINING AT CRYSTAL SPRINGS RESORT
If food is the way to your hear, the resort has 12 seasonal restaurants and cafes and menus featuring over 100 locally sourced ingredients.
While not all of the restaurants were open during our stay, we did have a chance to try a few of them.
The locally sourced ingredients, amazing views and all around good food made this resort one of my favorite dining experiences.
My favorite experience was the Champagne Chalet. It was the perfect dinner under the stars with some amazing views to boot.
