The Crested Butte Wine and Food Festival is an annual fundraiser for the Crested Butte Center for the Arts, the premier visual and performing arts venue in the region. For over 30 years, the Center has been dedicated to providing arts and cultural experiences that inspire and entertain all audiences, whether they call Crested Butte home every day or just for the weekend. And the Wine and Food Festival has been a summer staple in the Gunnison Valley since 2008.  Jane and Jon will be hanging out all week and participating in or leading three events.

Jane will be in the house and Miel's Sommer Camp (get it!?) -- a chance to take in some wine education and have a bit of fun. Seema Prasad, owner of Miel and Harvest Wine Shop, went to Australia with Legend in February, and we're here to bring you all the combined learnings. The theme is Cool + Warm Climate Australia, and how both climates can produce wines that are balanced, vibrant, and fresh. 

Join Jane and Jon, hospitality veterans, authors, and the leading authorities on Australian wines, for an afternoon tasting featuring six selection from historic and exciting newer producers. How to Drink Australian books will be available for purchase and signing at the event. Kim Chalmers of Chalmers Winery will also be in attendance.

Join us for a Sunday evening summer party on the Four Winds Farm patio, with visiting winemaker Kim Chalmers and Jane and Jon from Legend Imports. Come ready to enjoy Chef Jon Rosnow’s summer menu showcasing fresh produce and plenty of grilled and wood-fire roasted items. The all-star wine team will be making rounds to each table, visiting with guests to talk about the wines and our experiences in the industry. In addition to the food and wine offerings, enjoy all your favorite lawn games, a walk in the hop fields, or cool down inside while you explore the historic barn. The farm has endless fun and beauty to explore! Festivities will run from 5-8pm, but please plan to arrive between 5-6pm.
