LIQUOR
Most guests enjoy the cocktail hour in their cabins before supper. Alcohol is not served with supper, though you are welcome to bring a bottle of wine to share with your table.
A buffet lunch greets you at midday -- complete with ample platters of fresh fruit and vegetables. Main courses vary with the time of year -- hearty soups or chili, casseroles, or springy salads. Save room for the cookie platter, where you'll find several varieties baked that morning. Beware as the cookies are available all afternoon if you need a snack! Several days a week you'll have the chance to enjoy lunch on the trail, cooked over the campfire or for longer all day rides a bountiful sack lunch. A long-time Elkhorn tradition, the Saturday desert picnic, brings the week to a close with mesquite blessed hamburgers. Many vegetarians break their routine for this occasion!
Choosing your breakfast is the most challenging decision of the day! A buffet of juice, fruit, baked treats fresh from the early morning oven, and home made granola and other cereals greets you each morning. Then you can order a hot breakfast -- Elkhorn baked bread for toast, eggs any style, pancakes, french toast, bacon, sausage, and hash browns. Huevos rancheros is a favorite, though most can only handle a half order!
A variety of wines are sold at the ranch, but not served in the dining room. Most guests enjoy the cocktail hour in their cabin before supper. You are welcome to bring a bottle of wine to the dining room to share with your table.
