Before the summer ends, head over for some southern fare and fun at Primland.

Primland, Auberge Resorts Collection is excited to welcome renowned Pitmaster, Chef Elizabeth Karmel, to close out the summer this Labor Day with a weekend-long celebration at the Blue Ridge Mountain retreat complete with BBQ workshops, exclusive dinner events, and more. 

This Labor Day Weekend, Chef Karmel brings her exceptional skills to Primland Resort, where guests can indulge in Southern BBQ with Chef-led workshops and special culinary events with dish highlights including Butterbean Hummus (see recipe below) and Chimichurri Chicken Wings. Guests can make the most of the last days of summer with endless outdoor excursions from fly-fishing, clay shooting, horseback riding, golf, and so much more!

“I’m excited to head back to Primland, Auberge Resorts Collection this Labor Day Weekend to host immersive, epicurean events. I’ll be sharing some of my top tips and tricks for authentic, Southern-style cooking and showcasing a few of my favorite summer dishes,” says Chef Elizabeth Karmel. “One of my favorite appetizers or light meal recipes is a bright savory Butterbean Hummus. Inspired by the Butterbean puree at the Obstinate Daughter, this simple dip—or sandwich spread—follows the traditional steps of hummus, substituting Lima Beans for chickpeas and enhancing the lemon flavor with strips of lemon zest that get pureed with all the other ingredients.”

Primland is a great destination for one final summer getaway before the kids head back to school, thanks to the property’s ample kid-friendly outdoor adventures, tennis and pickleball courts, resort pool, games room, and a cinema with family-friendly classics. Stay longer and let the kids play all day through Primland’s Explorer Club, available for children ages 5-13. Offered twice a week from now through Labor Day, kids can embark on adventures of their own from learning archery skills, trying their hand at pond fishing, experiencing a day in the life of Primland’s horses, or making and flying their very own kite.
