THAT'S A WRAP! The 5th annual Jackson Hole Food & Wine Summer Festival has come to a close. We celebrated all things culinary in beautiful Jackson Hole with three extraordinary days of events all while supporting Hole Food Rescue.
We were thrilled to be able to host an extraordinary weekend of food and beverages with so many wonderful supporters. This year's festival was a perfect mix of new events and returning fan-favorites, stirred up with Jackson Hole’s welcoming hospitality and fun flare as local chefs, mixologists, and winemakers welcomed a group of hand-picked talent to share in the celebration.
Spread out among some of our favorite stunning Jackson Hole locations, over 950 guests enjoyed 4 events, serviced by 3 guest chefs; 23 local restuarants; and over 35 local and visiting beverage professionals.
Please see below for a day-by-day recap and a few images of the festivities.
THURSDAY, JUNE 23 - TASTE OF JACKSON HOLE
Thursday evening we welcomed back local favorite Taste of Jackson Hole presented by MLD and hosted by Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. With a glass of Whispering Angel Rosé in hand guests enjoyed a beautiful ride up the gondola arriving at Rendezvous Lodge where they experienced an evening of delicious beverages and mouthwatering food.
Guests enjoyed an array of food from 16 booths featuring local restaurants throughout Jackson Hole. Everyone brought their A game displaying their impressive culinary skills. No one went thirsty with over 20 beverage booths to choose from ranging from beer, wine, spirits, and a selection of non-alcoholic options.
After two years of not being able to host this event, it was wonderful celebrating this increrdible evening together!
