The lodge is back. The vibes are elevated. ⛰️🍸
We don’t usually do activations twice—but Peaks & Play returns because the mountains called… and we had unfinished business.

We’re transforming Understory into a full Après Ski Lodge experience, all winter long. Cozy up with our exclusive 5-course pairing dinner in collaboration with @glassboxsd + @stranahans , Thursdays–Saturdays only. Limited seating. Elevated plates. Perfectly paired cocktails. Neat pours. Pure magic. Not ready for the full ride?

Join us at the bar for limited-time winter cocktails like:
• Milk & Cookies – a nostalgic twist on Santa’s nightcap
• Sun Over Snow – sage, citrus, and alpine bliss
• Black Clove – bold, bitter, beautiful
• Not Your Brandy Alexander – luxe & layered
• Housemade Holiday Nog w/ @tincupwhiskey
• Full lineup of Stranahan’s neat pours

Ski lodge vibes in the heart of Del Mar. Seats are limited. Vibes are not. Tap the link in bio to reserve or come sip into the season.

🕯️ Whispers Between Sips

There’s a message waiting for you.
A secret scribbled by the last soul who ordered this cocktail. A mystery only solved if you dare to leave one behind.

🔮 Some write poetry.
Others confessions.
And a few… warnings.

This isn’t just a drink…it’s a ritual.
One that only reveals its truth between the lines.
Will you listen? Will you answer?

🖋️ Oct 17–30 | #SirDavisRye

Tag the one friend who always reads the fine print.
And leave your mark—if you’re brave enough. 👁️
