Want to make it down to a Telluride festival this year, but aren’t sure which one would be best? If you’ve already looked through our complete list of every Telluride summer festival and still can’t decide, let us suggest the Telluride Reserve: A newcomer to the summer festival scene that’s making a big splash in its inaugural year.

While the Telluride Wine Festival has been a favorite for 38 years running, The Telluride Reserve hopes to bring a freshness and a new perspective to the traditional wine festival.

“Our goal is to gather culinary creatives and give them the opportunity to share their perspective and their stories with our guests,” said Garrett Brafford, Director of Operations and Finance of the Telluride Mountain Village Owners Association. “We will bring this to life in the stunning locations of Telluride Mountain Village. We are excited to introduce an event of this caliber, which we believe will rival the very best in the country.”

For four days, renowned chefs, winemakers, and wine experts will lead tastings, pairings, specialty classes, and community events in the beautiful mountain setting. A few of these unique offerings include:

• How to Blind Taste Test
• Taste and Terroir lunches featuring the wine and cuisine of regions from around the world. These lunches will take place in beautiful private homes throughout Mountain Village. 
• A tour of Hemingway cocktails highlighted in his books
• Day drinking 101
• How to build the perfect antipasti
