Spring Trout Feast with Smoke in Chimneys
Friday, April 24
Join us April 24 as we welcome the 2026 spring season with a special Trout Feast, featuring Ty Walker of Smoke In Chimneys and Will and Cornelia Hodges of Troddenvale at Oakley Farm.
Ty will be onsite, expertly smoking his Virginia-raised trout fillets, which will be served alongside Fort Lewis’ signature sides and Troddenvale’s cider.
The evening will commence with a cocktail hour, where guests can savor Ty’s smoked trout dip while watching the smoking process firsthand. Meanwhile, Troddenvale tastings will be available at the bar. We’ll then gather for a seasonally inspired feast, celebrating the rich flavors of locally sourced ingredients.
This exclusive dinner is included with an overnight stay, making it the perfect way to welcome the new season in the heart of the Alleghany Highlands.
