Every evening, cheese lovers can indulge in an authentic Fondue Savoyarde experience, featuring hand picked cheeses, dishes and wines from the French Alpine region of Savoie, where 28°-50°’s chateau and vineyard are located. The traditional, three-course menu includes a walnut salad to start, followed by a charcuterie platter and cheese fondue, served with crusty bread and potatoes. Dessert is a melt in the mouth chocolate mousse with caramelised pear and all guests will be treated to a tipple of a Kir aperitif, showcasing 28°-50°’s expert wine.

Though cheese fondue is generally regarded as being a Swiss creation, fondue Savoyarde originates from the French Alpine region of Savoie and adheres to the traditional definition, using French cheeses such as Comté, Beaufort and Abondance. The cheese is then combined with garlic and white wine from Apremont and kirsch, the natural acidity of the wine making those delicious cheese strings and the choice of cheeses adding light floral undertones and notes of hazelnut.

Diners should also take note that local Savoie tradition dictates that if your piece of bread slips off your fork and into the cheese, the next round is on you! Sit back and dream of the mountains!
