Steamboat Food & Wine Festival

Multiple venues, including Thunderhead Lodge at Steamboat Resort, 2305 Mt. Werner Circle

Four days of chef collaborations, winemaker dinners, seminars, and a Saturday Grand Tasting spread across mountain lodges and downtown dining rooms. A gondola ride opens the weekend with oysters, caviar, and Champagne at sunset. This is a 21-and-over festival, so leave the kids at the rental.
