Big Sky’s inaugural Festival of Wine, Food and Arts, August 15-17, offers a variety of experiences in the Mountain Village that are designed to increase your knowledge and enjoyment of wine, food, and local art by providing exciting activities, seminars, and demos.
The festival’s inaugural year will feature signature events like the “Big Sky’s Mountain Village Stroll,” where you mingle and taste with Master Sommeliers, Culinary Professionals, and the representatives from more than 20 wineries from around the world. In typical ‘Live Big’ Style we will be offering adventure theme style tasting luncheons with names like “Zip to Zins ” and “Taste at the Top”. The adventure tastings mix the unbelievable beauty of Lone Peak with compelling themed picnic lunches for an experience only available here. For the less adventuresome, wine and food inspired events include seminars with Master Sommeliers Fred Dame and Jay Fletcher, plus much more!
