About

At Telluride Reserve, quality is our priority. We believe that designing a food & wine festival with integrity leads to unforgettable moments for guests and chefs.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED

THOUGHTFUL INGREDIENTS

We believe in creating fine dining moments that not only taste exquisite, but also honor the earth our ingredients are sourced from. In curating the weekend’s menus, chefs are encouraged to draw upon the bounty of the seasonal summer harvest.

With Colorado’s stunning natural landscape nearby, we hope to create an atmosphere of contemplative gratitude for the earth’s role in every gourmet experience. Just as diners applaud the creative hands of the chefs who create their plates, participants of Telluride Reserve are also encouraged to celebrate the dedicated hands and fertile ground that grew their ingredients.

INSIDER ACCESS

AN INTIMATE AFFAIR

Telluride Reserve provides guests with unparalleled access to world-renowned chefs, sommeliers and industry professionals. Our curated seminars allow guests to learn from these leading experts, while intimate tablescapes allow for spontaneous conversation to spring forth over broken bread.

All participants walk away from Telluride feeling the warm glow of shared epicurean appreciation.

TRUE HOSPITALITY

A CULTURE OF KINDNESS

The team at Telluride Reserve works diligently behind the scenes to create an atmosphere of bespoke hospitality. Telluride is known as a place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and we are committed to making your experience with us feel like a breath of fresh mountain air.

We hold ourselves to a standard of excellence in order to make your experience the best it can be, and in doing so, are eternally grateful to the staff members who make this event possible. We ask that you join us in extending thanks to brilliant minds, creatives, and on-the-ground team who bring this wonderful weekend to life.
