Rocky Mountains Events’ Breckenridge Food and Wine. This is happening from Friday, July 29, through Sunday, July 31, for the first time since 2019. Aside from the Breckenridge Sunday Market, it is the first Rocky Mountains Events production to return following the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We haven’t changed much,” Kristi Rashidi of Rocky Mountain Events said. “We’ve got really great vendors this year, we’ve tightened up the food in terms of quality and I think we’ve got more beverage vendors than we ever have had.”
Close to 40 beverage vendors will be bringing more than 250 options to sample at the Village at Breckenridge and Main Street Station. There will also be multiple retail and food vendors, such as the relaunched Quandary Tequila Bistro, with a la carte food options.
Friday’s paired dinner and Sunday’s brunch, along with the VIP lounge on Saturday, July 30, are all sold out. Rashidi said ticket sales have surpassed those of 2019, and some people who bought tickets for 2020 back then have held onto them to redeem this year.
Nevertheless, Saturday’s grand tasting should still be fun for all. Electric string quartet Spinphony will be playing live music from 2:30-5:30 p.m., in addition to DJ Crisp performing from 1-4 p.m. E. & J. Gallo Winery, Hess Persson Estates, J. Lohr Vineyards are just some of the companies bringing samples. Locally, people can try drinks from Breckenridge Brewery, Carboy Winery and Tenmile Cider Co.
Saturday’s grand tasting is from 2-6 p.m., however, last call is at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $60 in advance then increase to $70 on the day of the event. Designated driver tickets are also available.
