Currier & Ives Maple Sugar Weekend and Progressive



New Hampshire Inns Welcome Spring with Currier and Ives Maple Sugar Weekend and Progressive Dinner, March 18-20
Rosewood Country Inn, The Candlelite Inn, And Henniker House Offer Two Night Getaway Where Maple Is The Key Ingredient
As spring approaches in New Hampshire, the days get longer, temperatures rise and buckets and tubing appear on the roadsides to herald the start of maple sugar season. To celebrate this annual event, three country inns in the Sunapee region have joined together to offer a Currier & Ives Maple Sugar Weekend and Progressive Dinner, March 18-20.
Three quintessential New Hampshire inns - Rosewood Country Inn, The Candlelite Inn and Henniker House Bed & Breakfast are offering a weekend getaway amidst a backdrop that's right out of a Currier & Ives scene. The two night package includes a mapped, self-guided tour of neighboring sugar houses where guests can see maple syrup made the old-fashioned way, and learn the history of the time honored tradition from the Native Americans to the present. The guide also includes suggestions for antiquing and tax-free shopping, and areas for snow shoeing and cross country skiing. After a day of t ouring, guests can treat themselves to a romantic sleigh ride over the river and through the woods at the Rosewood Country Inn (optional spring sleigh rides are weather dependent and $25 per person. Pre-registration is required).
The three-course Progressive Dinner starts with hors d'oeuvres at the Henniker House overlooking the Contoocook River, entrees served fireside at the Rosewood Country Inn, and ends with desserts at the cozy Candlelite Inn.
The Currier & Ives Maple Sugar Weekend & Progressive Dinner package includes the following:
Two nights lodging at the inn of your choice
Hearty country breakfasts where maple is the star ingredient
Map of area sugar houses for self guided tours
Three-course, progressive dinner (not including in lodging price)
