Many wine lovers have attended at one time or another a wine tasting whether in their local area or even in picturesque wine country. But for those looking for something new maybe a wine festival settled in the Rockies may just be the answer. The Telluride Wine Festival has been going on in this small Colorado ski town for over 30 years and attracts some of the top wine makers in the industry.
In years past this festival held in one of the most beautiful ski towns out West has featured top wines along with chocolates for attendees to sample. Last year the festival organizers chose to add a new component by bringing in music to entertain during the event.
Held in the high mountains in late June this is a wonderful weekend getaway for wine lovers. During this time many of the wildflowers in the region are starting to bloom and this can set up a perfect picnic in the mountains; provided a London two bottle wine carrier with cheese set is brought along to pack the goodies into the backcountry. For those interested in attending this year and experiencing the wine and music in the mountains tickets will go on sale April 1.
