Telluride Reserve 2026 was three days of exceptional food, rare w**e, and very good company šŸ”ļø and we are still reliving every memory.

From oysters in the Timber Room on Thursday night to the last of the brisket at the Adieu BBQ on Saturday, there were lunches and dinners and w**e poured at 11,200 feet, a long table under the lights of the iconic Town Park Stage, seminars that turned into conversations, meals that had guests lingering long past the last course, and a Grand Tasting in Heritage Plaza that no one wanted to leave until the last bottle was empty šŸ¾

Thank you to every chef, w**ery, partner, staff member, volunteer, and guest who showed up for it. None of this happens without you, and we loved having you here for every minute of it.

Telluride, we will see you next summer ā˜€ļø We are already scheming on 2027 and counting down the days.

Friday gave us a full and truly beautiful second day ā˜€ļø

To start, guests hiked or rode up to Bon Vivant for Tour de l'Alpe, where Chefs Kyle Bailey and Tiffany MacIsaac spread a roaming alpine feast and Francesco Allegro pulled pasta by hand. Back in town, a vertical of Caymus Vineyards, a knife skills class with Wƶlfe Cutlery, and a side-by-side of Napa single vineyards at LumiĆØre filled the afternoon.

By evening, Chefs Paul C. Reilly, Sheila Lucero, and Chris Thompson brought guests back up to Bon Vivant for Closer to the Stars, every course poured with Vineyard 29. Down in town, Peaks & Vines set a long table on the Telluride Town Park Stage, where Chefs Matt Vawter and Sean and Melissa McGaughey cooked a menu written for one night only.

Thank you to the chefs, w**emakers, and guests who made it what it was. Very much looking forward to seeing everyone at the Grand Tasting and Adieu BBQ close things out today.

Thank you to everyone who joined us to kick off this year's festivities Madeline Hotel & Residences, Auberge Collection for the First Pour šŸ¾

Golden hour in the beautiful Timber Room came through the windows just as the first bottles opened. Jonah Kim sent out freshly shucked oysters and a celebratory chirashi. Macauley Vineyard, Limerick Lane Cellars, Innumero W**es | Sonoma County Boutique W**ery , and Arietta W**e poured through the evening, and the Palisade peach cocktails from Condesa Gin tasted like true summer šŸ‘

We're also so grateful to Vista Bank, whose support made the opening possible.

Chefs, sommeliers, and guests found each other early and stayed late, which is exactly how a weekend like this should begin. Two more days in Telluride ahead šŸ”ļø

Raised in Keystone, Fulton began his culinary journey at just 14 before honing his craft in Michelin-level kitchens across the country. Today, heā€™s back where it all began, creating thoughtful tasting menus at Denverā€™s Margot that celebrate the flavors of Colorado through refined technique and foraged ingredients like spruce tips and wild chamomile.
