The Breckenridge Food & Wine Festival is a perfect way to spend a Saturday in the middle of summer.

The Steamboat Wine Festival makes for an ideal long weekend. With four days filled with activities, there’s no shortage of things to do and wine to try. Festival features include stand-up paddleboard yoga, golf and wine, hiking with wine at the end (this is probably the only way to get me to hike), and other events in addition to the expected tastings and seminars. Tickets can be purchased on the Steamboat Wine Festival site.
Snowmass Wine Festival; September 15-16, 2017

During the grand tasting, people will be able to drink, taste food from local restaurants, and participate in a silent auction. Tickets can be purchased through the Snowmass website.
