Jackson Hole Food & Wine Winter Fest

Jackson Hole Food & Wine Winter Fest is a three-day food and wine festival held annually in Teton Village, Wyoming — marking its 10th anniversary with the 2026 edition running February 26–28. The festival has operated since 2017 and is one of 2 annual events produced by Jackson Hole Food & Wine, which also stages a summer edition each June. Ticket prices vary by event type, with the Wine Dinner at 9,000ft being the only tax-deductible option.

Jackson Hole Food & Wine Winter Fest spans multiple distinct events across the 3-day run, each with its own dress code and format. The Lost Whiskey Spirits Tasting and Pinot Wine Tasting welcome guests in ski clothes or street clothes, while Big Wines, Small Plates calls for a step above casual. The Wine Dinner at 9,000ft — held on the mountain via gondola — recommends winter cocktail attire and is the festival's most formal offering. The Winter Grand Tasting opens to all forms of winter fashion and features a dedicated non-alcoholic wine booth from Missing Thorn, alongside water stations and Spindrift sparkling water. The festival has generated over 126 million media impressions and has been featured by outlets including Condé Nast Traveler, Forbes, Travel + Leisure, and Outside Magazine.

All events are held indoors, though guests should dress for the walk to venues or the gondola ride, as February temperatures in Jackson Hole average in the high 30s. All ticket sales are final — the festival runs rain, shine, or snow. Tickets for Winter Fest 2026 went on sale November 19 at 10am MST via jhfoodandwine.com.

In 2026, proceeds from Jackson Hole Food & Wine Winter Fest support Hole Food Rescue, a Teton County nonprofit that redirects surplus food to no-cost grocery programs to reduce food waste and build local food security. The festival also maintains sustainability practices including reusable glassware, eco-friendly disposables, online-only ticketing, and reusable guest bags distributed at Grand Tasting events.
