Co-presented with Mountain Roots Warm yourself this winter season + learn to steep wine with love at our Mulled Wine class offered by Chef Rachel Branham of Mountain Roots Food Project. Chef Rachel will discuss the history of mulling wine, take you on a tour of warming spices and their power, and show you how to take “any old wine” and transform it with warmth + flavor into an extraordinary treat or gift for the holidays. Join us to ‘mull it over’, leave with a bottle of wine + skills to warm yourself from the inside this holiday season.
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!
