Telluride Food & Vine

Telluride Food & Vine is a grand tasting wine and food festival held annually over 3 days in Telluride, Colorado — scheduled for June 12–14, 2026, across a full weekend of curated culinary and wine events set in a mountain town. The festival draws chefs, winemakers, distillers, and brewers together with both locals and visitors for a multi-event program that spans Friday through Sunday.

Telluride Food & Vine is structured around several distinct ticketed events rather than a single tasting floor. The 2026 lineup includes a Rosé & Croquet gathering on Friday, June 12; a Family Dinner on Saturday, June 13; and a Grand Tasting on Sunday, June 14. Attendees can purchase individual event tickets, a Signature Events Bundle, or a 2026 Weekend Pass covering the full run. This format gives visitors the flexibility to attend one evening or commit to the entire 3-day schedule. The festival also supports One to One Mentoring, a San Miguel County organization that has served youth in the area for over 20 years and currently matches upwards of 100 youth per year with adult mentors.

Ticket pricing has not been publicly listed at time of publication — check the official website at telluridefoodandvine.com for current rates, as the 2026 events are confirmed on sale. Telluride sits at over 8,700 feet elevation, so visitors planning to attend should factor in altitude acclimatization, especially for a multi-day outdoor event in June. Lodging options are available through the festival's own lodging resource page.

Telluride, Colorado is not part of a designated wine AVA, but the festival's wine partners bring producers from across the country. The combination of mountain setting, structured multi-event programming, and a community-rooted charitable mission distinguishes Telluride Food & Vine from standard grand tasting formats.
