Go Green Program At Grand Geneva Resort

The Travel Green Wisconsin program is designed to protect the beauty and vitality of Wisconsin’s landscape and natural resources. Wisconsin’s natural resources, wildlife and cultural diversity are among its most important tourism assets. Efforts to preserve them for future generations serve the best interest of Wisconsin travelers, as well as its tourism industry and the state’s overall economy.

BEE Grand

We are pleased to share news about our Grand Geneva Bees. We harvested over 100lbs of honey from our new on-site beehives. This sweet surprise will be featured in various offerings throughout the resort and restaurants including new hotel guest amenities and paired alongside tea offerings. Executive Chef Nelly Buleje plans to use the new harvest in fall and winter menus including Ristorante Brissago's Sweet Basil Vinaigrette, Geneva ChopHouse's popular Umami Salmon Collars dish featured in the restaurant's famous Sparkling Sunday Brunch and drizzled in the granola bowl in Grand Cafe. Raw honey and honey sticks are also available for purchase in Grand Central. Stop by and pick up a jar!

Natural Vegetable and Herb Garden

The Natural Vegetable and Herb Garden was developed as a fresh, local and sustainable green initiative to supply Grand Geneva with fresh field to plate produce. It is used as an educational tool for our culinary students who tend and track the growth and development of the garden. All of the vegetables and herbs were donated by Bonnie Plants in Milton, WI.
