Greetings Friends!

We are so excited to enjoy all Aspen has to offer this summer!!!

Welcome back: Food and Wine Classic returns to Aspen

This year marks the 43rd edition of the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, which has transcended its founding as a mere local wine and food tasting to become the premier culinary gathering in the country.

Hotel Jerome's Epicurean Passport

A magnificent weekend celebrating our chefs, winemakers, mixologists and culinary visionaries over the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen 2026

Celebrity Chef and Restaurateur Bobby Flay joins food writer for free talk about American cuisine

REAL ESTATE UPDATE

It is impossible not to sense our real estate market is correcting…We still have very large off market sales like the recently closed $91,000,000 sale of a 14,000 sq ft home on the corner of Red Mountain Rd and Placer Lane. However, as we watched the last year, you cannot price your home based on one insane sale in your

neighborhood. We are seeing price reductions at all levels, so the summer market will be very interesting!

SUMMER ACTIVITIES

All our activities are full speed ahead! See the list below. The e-bike craze is great to get every type of person back on a bike, but please remember biking rules and pay attention to pedestrians and cars! RENT HERE

Independence Pass Outfitting Company

This Horse-Riding company have forest service permits for riding on The Lost Man loop towards the top of Independence Pass and are run by an old mining family. This is a very unknown option to T-Lazy 7 and the Maroon Creek Outfitters. Aspen is gorgeous by itself. But imagine it on horseback, through the mountains... it doesn’t get much better than that!
