It may still be the middle of winter, but the recent warm weather reminds us that summer--and 13th Annual Park City Food & Wine Classic--are both just a few short months away. The renowned culinary festival is one of Park City's biggest events of the year during which our little mountain town plays host to a number of internationally-known chefs, vintners, sommeliers, brewers, and distillers, here to share unforgettable food and wine tastings and cooking demonstrations. Consider this your official notice to mark your calendars for July 6-9th and book your tickets now.  

The Classic begins with the exclusive Wine on the Mountain event (July 6) where guests get to sink their teeth into exquisite culinary creations while enjoying live music and chatting with wine experts at the Montage Deer Valley. Food lovers will sample fare from Park City's many award-winning restaurants during the Historic Main Street Stroll on July 7th (pro-tip: skip the lines with VIP tickets) or indulge in an impressive selection of premium wines, beer, spirits, and gourmet food purveyors at the Toast of Park City on July 8th. Several of Park City's best restaurants have already signed on to participate in this year's events, including Apex, The Glitretind, Bodega on Main, High West Distillery, and many more. 

Tickets can be purchased online at parkcityfoodandwineclassic.com. And make sure to stay tuned as additional culinary events are added to the schedule for this year's festival.
