This is the Telluride Food and Vine Festival. We know that our goal lies not just in gathering the finest culinary talents and vintners from near and far. It also lies in the building of true relationships, in inspiring chefs and artisans and wine makers and distillers and brewers, and in creating an atmosphere where they all come together to celebrate the spirit of our mountain town.

This is the Telluride Food and Vine Festival, a celebration of the simplest joys of life uninhibited. It is laughs shared with old neighbors and new friends, the stories told, the meals enjoyed together, when all pretense is dropped, when the worries of the world fall away, when we’re free to enjoy the essence of life at its purest. This is Telluride Food and Vine. We celebrate all that Telluride represents. We celebrate community and creativity. We celebrate lasting, true relationships and the real people who know this place feels like home, no matter where they're from.

We celebrate a love for the outdoors, an awe at the beauty around us, and we celebrate the life that is lived when we find our truest, simplest selves, uninhibited and inspired, free to partake in a life truly abundant.
