Chefs Johannes Klapdohr and Chris Huerta stroll through the bountiful orchard“part of the 33-acre setting at The Farm.
Chefs Klapdohr and Huerta cure their own meats, rendering tasty charcuterie, pates and the accompanying pickled vegetables, best enjoyed with a glass of Champagne or one of the Inn“s signature cocktails, such as “The Hummingbird”“ a tasty blend of pea shoots, lime and cucumber juice, with vodka and a touch of local honey.
On the spa terrace in the “quiet room,” guests can relax with a cup of tea or lemon water between spa treatments. The massive fireplace burns huge logs in the winter for an added touch of coziness. The Spa Terrace offers panoramic views of downtown Highlands and the mountains beyond.
Organic gardens planted in raised beds on the property supply the restaurants of Old Edwards Inn and Spa with seasonal produce.

The top-notch culinary team of Executive Chef Johannes Klapdohr and Chef Chris Huerta preside over the kitchen at Madison’s, as well as all other dining venues at The Inn. They believe in the partnership between chef and farmer, basing their ever-changing menus around the week’s harvest of farm-fresh produce—mostly from their own organic gardens—and other locally sourced products. The resulting menu is guided heavily by vibrant, fresh flavors of the ingredients, prepared simply and served at precisely their peak. Madison’s also has an impressive wine cellar with a trained sommelier, although most of the wait staff is knowledgeable in choosing and pairing wines, as well. oldedwardsinn.com
