Mountain Beer Festival, September 14 & 15, Deer Valley Ski Resort
The resorts don’t close when ski season ends, they simply provide new activities for visitors to enjoy, including the Mountain Beer Festival at Deer Valley Ski Resort. Brewers from all over the southwest will be set up, offering the best of their brews, ensuring that no one leaves the festival feeling thirsty. Also offering live music, outdoor dining, chair lift access throughout the resort, and family friendly activities that will make this precursor to fall event one that your entire family can enjoy. A variety of ticket packages can be purchased, starting at $15 for non-drinkers 2 years of age and older, and topping out at $135 per person for an Imperial Package offering eight beer tasting tokens, scenic lift rides, a commemorative mug and tee, and access to the VIP Barbecue.
Park City Wine Festival, October 3 – 5, 4000 Canyons Resort Drive
This wonderful festival is nothing to whine about with 100+ wineries offering selections of the grape that come from all over the world. Providing an intense deep dive into wine, including pairing dinners, tasting sessions, even seminars that will make you feel as if you have gone back to school, but in a much tastier manner, there are even wine lunches preceded by hikes that will take you through the beauty of the Park City fall countryside. Featuring 20 different wine based events over three days held in a variety of locations, guests can pick and choose which individual events appeal most, but be sure to reserve your tickets early as some events in Park City have already sold out. The Park City Wine Festival is one of the city’s top draws, and we recommend it highly.
Haunted Forest at Park City Gardens, 4459 North State Route 224
The spooky season can be enhanced with a stroll through the Haunted Forest at Park City Gardens, where every season is celebrated with color, fragrance, and style. Offering everything from pumpkins to poltergeists, this attraction is spooky without being frightening, and as guests meander through gardens decked out with traditional fall flowers and spooky decorations, the cool night air, glowing jack-o-lanterns, and witches and goblins will help travelers begin to get into the spirit of the season. Also offering a pumpkin patch, this fall event is one the entire family will love.
The Pumpkin Train, Saturdays in October, Heber Valley Railroad
This next fall event involves a short road trip (approximately 18 minutes) to nearby Heber Valley but the beauty of landscape will ensure that you wished both trips were longer. The pumpkin train leaves the station every two hours starting at 10 AM with the last adventure starting at 6 PM and each journey lasting about 40 minutes. This fantastical experience includes entertainment, pumpkin snacks, and a chance to pick out your own pumpkin at their pumpkin patch, something that will add a touch of fall to your Summit Luxury Vacations seasonal sanctuary. Costing just $15 per person, this reasonably priced adventure will fit into everyone’s vacation budget and promises to be the favorite event of your tiniest travelers.
Ski Season Begins in Mid-November!
Park City truly is a four-seasons vacation destination, but we can’t help but feel that our mountain town comes fully to life when the first snows hit the slopes. Fortunately, those white flakes hit relatively early, and our ski resorts open sometime in mid-November, creating a buzz that can be felt throughout the town. We know you don’t need details on how to enjoy ski season, but we can promise that from that first chilly ride up the slopes, ‘til the last schuss down the slopes to the first sip of your après ski cocktails, this is the event you will never forget!
