The Grapes Are Calling from Breckenridge
The Breckenridge Food and Wine Festival brings you a unique, wine-tasting experience. Main Street Station Plaza and The Village at Breckenridge, (at the base of Peak Nine), transform into a beautiful, mountain-side vineyard starring an array of varietals created by top wineries. From the soft and smooth to the unabashedly bold, guests will get more than their fair share of delicious sips. There will be nearly 300 wines to select from!
So the palate doesn’t get lonely, foodies will appreciate the yummy small dishes available a la carte to accompany each vintage. Live music will tempt the ear, fulfilling the realm of the senses. Please note – Festival food offered by many vendors is not included and available a la carte for purchase.

Live Music in 2023
Main Stage – Spinphony
Crossover string quartet “Spinphony” is breaking down barriers between classical, rock, and pop music. Mixing and mashing catchy melodies into unique arrangements and original compositions, the high energy quartet is more like a rock band with added choreography and beats from a DJ.
Village at Breckenridge Plaza – DJ NME1
In the 80’s it started with pausing, rewinding and recording cassette tapes to make the perfect mix. In the 90’s, learning the art of DJing on vinyl records. The 00’s saw Mr. Emery with titles such as video editor, live music and concert booking, live sound engineer, club owner. Mike has always had the passion for entertaining. Bringing good vibes and excellent tunes DJ NME1 has lit up the stage at festivals and venues such as the Boulder Theater, Riverwalk Center in Breckenridge CO, Sunsation @ Copper Mountain.
