Nothing says winter like cozying up with a group of friends (or your favourite person) for an evening of easy conversation, fine wine, and fondue! Our friends at Fairmont Winnipeg host weekly fondue nights on Tuesdays and Thursdays, running from October through February. Here, the Fairmont chefs share their home-friendly recipe for chocolate fondue.
