A farm-to-table evening celebrating food, wine, and flowers! Join us for an intimate and elegant wine dinner at Iola Valley Farm, where Buckel Family Wine and Sundrop Flora come together for a one-of-a-kind experience under the summer sky. Enjoy a beautifully curated, multi-course menu crafted with fresh, seasonal ingredients-all thoughtfully paired with Buckel’s high-elevation, small-batch wines. Each dish highlights the best of what’s growing here on the land, and each table is adorned with floral blooms from the Sundrop Flora farm, and table artistry by Bee’s Vintage Rentals. This is a set menu experience designed with intention-substitutions politely declined.
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
