The 6th 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.
The Festival returned with a dynamic roster of local and visiting chefs, restaurants, artisans and beverage pros offering one-of-a-kind food and beverage experiences at some of Jackson Hole’s most picturesque locations.
We welcomed special guests, including Trigg Brown, author and James Beard Foundation Award semifinalist chef/owner of Win Son and Win Son Bakery in Brooklyn; Billy Durney, James Beard Foundation Nominee and award-winning chef/pitmaster of Red Hook Tavern in Brooklyn and Hometown Bar-B-Que Brooklyn and Miami; Fany Gerson, author and James Beard Foundation Award nominated chef/owner of Fan Fan Doughnuts, La Newyorkina, and Mijo NYC; Markus Glocker, Michelin Star and James Beard Foundation Award winning chef/owner of Koloman NYC; and a host of stellar wines from Folio Fine Wines and Gallica.
Please see below for a day-by-day recap and a few images of the festivities.
THURSDAY, JUNE 22 - TASTE OF JACKSON HOLE
Thursday evening 525 guests filled Rendezvous Lodge as we celebrated local favorite, Taste of Jackson Hole presented by MLD and hosted by Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. We are still savoring every moment from that night, from delicous bites to good sips!
Guests were welcomed with a custom Summer Festival glass filled with
J Vineyards California Cuvée to get the night started!
Our featured spirits booth Jackson Hole Still Works served up some incredible gin and vodka cocktails. As Jackson Hole's only local craft distillery, they showed guests what it means to produce the highest quality grain-to-glass craft spirits!
Guests enjoyed an array of food from 14 booths featuring local restaurants throughout Jackson Hole. Everyone brought their A game displaying their impressive culinary skills. No one went thirsty with over 16 beverage booths ranging from beer, wine, spirits, and a non-alcoholic option.
To cap off the night, guests lined up for the photo booth to capture this festive evening. We can't wait until next year!

SATURDAY, JUNE 24 - SAVOR
Jackson’s stunning Mead Ranch was the perfect setting for our last event of the weekend. SAVOR, Presented by First Republic now part of JPMorgan Chase and Sponsored by YETI, was the ultimate party on a ranch!
Guests were welcomed with a splash of Jackson Hole Winery's 2022 Alpine Glow Rosé in a custom Jackson Hole Food & Wine YETI wine tumbler.
The Summer Festival’s featured guest chefs, including Trigg Brown, Billy Durney, Fany Gerson and Markus Glocker teamed up with a few of Jackson Hole's finest chefs and restaurants, including Blue Lion; Gather; Snake River Grill; Streetfood @ The Stagecoach; and The Bistro creating an incredible tasting event.
We loved watching Chef Billy Durney grill up some delicous tri-tip on the Cowboy Cauldron for a live-fire cooking experience.
350 guests soaked up a beautiful sunny day playing yard games; kicking back with live bluegrass from One Ton Pig; and enjoying delcious food and beverages. Jackson Hole Still Works highlighted their incredible craft spirit selections including JH Still Works Vodka, Great Grey Gin, and the Aabsaroka.
Lastly, no western party would be complete without getting outfitted in some western gear at the JH Old Time photo booth.
