This year's festival at the popular ski village of Steamboat Springs, CO features over 800 wines from all over the world, as well as wine seminars, fly-fishing with winemakers, strolling through the picturesque town of Steamboat Springs, gondola rides with spectacular mountain views, and dinners and demonstrations from some of Colorado's world-renowned chefs. At the bottom of this page, please check out a promotional video for the 2008 festival.
Among the featured chefs will be Hosea Rosenberg, winner of the Bravo Channel's Top Chef honor for season #5. He will be presenting a fun, interactive demonstration at the Viking Kitchen Stage, an elaborate outdoor cooking theater. Other workshops include the Aroma Wheel of Fortune Seminar -- where participants can explore the nose of wine, and learn a new vocabulary; the Rocky Horror Riesling Show -- where Noble Rot (the Botrytis cinereais fungus) is the honored guest; and Sipping in Spain -- also known as "What's Up DOC (Denominacion de Origen Calificada)?" Friday evening, participants can stroll down Lincoln Ave, Steamboat's main street, and sample nibbles from local restaurants, and taste wine as well. Call to purchase tickets at 877-328-2783. Tickets will be available at the Will Call window at each event venue, and will also be available for purchase at the window if the event is not sold out early.
The premier event of the Festival is the Trailhead Lodge's "Toast of Steamboat Grand Tasting" on Saturday at the Torian Plum Plaza, a world-class ski lodge with stunning views of Christie Peak. At this event, participants are encouraged to taste up to 800 wines and sample a wide variety of lovingly-prepared local dishes. During this event, there will also be cooking demos, and Hosea Rosenberg will be on hand to help you make the most of your food and wine selections.
