Vintner Events
Weekend Vintner events have long been a cherished tradition at our Montana hideaway. Not only do these weekends offer the unique opportunity to spend quality time with renowned winemakers, but also the chance to savor exclusive premier vintages from acclaimed vineyards as an added value to your all-inclusive ranch experience. Wines from the featured vintner are poured throughout the weekend, and often, our vintner partners also dig deep into their cellars to bring along rare treasures that are not available anywhere else! Round out a long weekend of adventure in our Montana playground with guided wine tasting seminars, and the highly anticipated wine-paired dinner on Saturday night.
Each weekend is infused with the distinct personalities of each vintner partner and offers guests an intimate experience with preeminent winemakers from the fertile valleys of Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. They are an ideal combination of adventure and some serious wine appreciation in our serene mountain setting. Whether you are a budding wine connoisseur or a seasoned professional, Vintner weekends promise to please the palates of foodies and oenophiles alike. All wine-oriented activities during the weekend are included in your nightly rate.
Core Weekend Schedule
This itinerary notes the key wine-oriented events that are typically scheduled during each weekend. Other activities are scheduled for individual weekends that reflect the diverse and engaging personalities of our vintner partners, and have included cooking classes, geocache scavenger hunts, horseback rides, orchard picnics, and cross-country ski treks. All this of course in addition to the robust menu of experiences that our guests enjoy regularly. Each event is unique to the Vintner and the time of year, and every weekend delivers fond memories and new friendships! Please speak with a Pre-Arrival Concierge to learn more about the specific weekend you are interested in attending.
