  • Wine Pairing and Tasting Menu

    US$250.00 per person

    Multiple dates available
    Ever wondered how much a dash, drizzle or pinch may be and how much is too much? Explore these questions and other culinary quandaries with Chef Eliza on Thursdays, from 11:00 to 2:30. Chef Eliza will demonstrate 12 dishes and Sommelier Sophie will pour 10 wines, harmonizing or juxtaposing the cuisine. Recipes feature summer flavors and lesser known ingredients. Learn from Sophie the art of wine pairing and dive into the regions and varietals of wine. Take with you all of the recipes, a full tummy and a bevy of new friends. Feel free to request a date for a class that fits your schedule. Most of our classes are held on Thursdays but we are open to private classes any day of the week.

    An absolutely phenomenal night. Our favorite dining experience in a long time. Two things really stood out to us -- the creativity (and deliciousness) of the food AND the young woman running the restaurant. She could not have been more welcoming and made us feel so special. She clearly runs an incredible service team as well. Our favorite dish had to be the rack of lamb. Best restaurant in Telluride!

    An excellent dining experience! A superb vegetarian/vegan menu that even for this carnivore outshined the bison short rib. Wonderful team that made us feel at home. We look forward to returning!

    This restaurant is so lovely, many fabulous choices on their extensive menu, beautiful and delicious food, gorgeous art on the walls, we came back and had another terrific meal again. I'm giving it only 4 stars because our waiter had a very strange and off-putting attitude. It seemed like he did not want to be there but had to endure. Maybe there's been a change since then, hopefully. Otherwise, everything is really terrific!

    We had the scallops starter, bison short ribs and trout. The food was well prepared and delicious. The complimentary bread was served warm. Our server was pleasant and attentive and our meal was timed very well so that we enjoyed each course and never felt rushed.
