Springtime in the Colorado Rockies is a great time to sample the Epicurean adventures around the Keystone ski resort area. Local residents of Keystone CO homes can point the way to the best places to go for an enjoyable evening while the snows are melting and the rain is pouring down outside.
While checking out the Keystone CO real estate and Colorado resort properties in the neighboring areas of Dillon, Silverthorne, and Frisco, Copper Mountain and Breckenridge, ask the locals to divulge their favorite restaurants and bars. They are the ones who know the secrets about tasty food and beverage as well as culinary bargains near Keystone CO real estate and the Summit County area. Here’s a little of what we’ve learned:
Wine country tasting and sampling is not only in the wine vineyards of California and on the western slopes of Colorado. Tucked away on a picturesque corner on Main Street in Frisco is Samplings. Operating on the "small plate" concept, Samplings offers visitors the opportunity to try many different menu items and to sample its extensive wine list of more than 350 wines. Use the Flight Program to sample three wines that share similar qualities. Carefully selected wines are paired exquisitely with seasonal flavors.
Diners in Breckenridge have the option of a Samplings-type experience at the lounge of its sister location, The Cellars. They also offer fine dining and three-to-five course evening upstairs in the dining room. Don't worry about dressing up. The atmosphere at these locations isn't stuffy so your relaxed mountain attire is welcome.
If an evening at home in front of a roaring fire with that special someone is your plan, you’ll find that perfect bottle of wine at several fine wine stores throughout Summit County. Ridge Street Wines and Cheese and Chocolate on Main Street in Breck offers one stop shopping for the flavors that naturally go together...wine, cheese and chocolate. Even budget-conscious folks can find a tasty bottle as Ridge Street Wines has an entire rack of bottles for under $10.
Going one-step further is Foodies in Frisco, with a variety of gourmet food to tempt and delight your discriminating palate. Foodies stocks hard-to-find gourmet items along with organic steaks and high-end olive oils. The establishment offers samples of tasty goodies along with up to 15 different wines. As a bonus, the store offers wine education and dinner discussions with winemakers for all who want to further an epicurean education.
Next door to Foodies in Frisco is the Frisco Wine Merchant that stocks more than 200 wines. Choose anything from Vintage ports and high-end Cognacs to very affordable bottles. Check out the free wine tastings every Wednesday from 5-7 p.m.
