Festivals

Film Festival

The Telluride Film Festival provides a unique opportunity for cutting edge film projects to be presented in a slow-paced, laid-back atmosphere.  This seemingly inaccessible location actually creates quite an accessible environment where bumping into an admired filmmaker is not so rare an opportunity.  This fact, as well as the unorthodox organization of the event, separates Telluride from the other renowned movie festivals worldwide.   The unadvertised schedule is always full of surprises, lending an air of electricity to the smoothly orchestrated event.  Come dine with us amidst fellow film enthusiasts and let us host your celebration during this incredible time.

Wine Festival

Four days of the ultimate wine and food delectation await you at the Telluride Wine Festival.  Accomplished Chefs and Sommeliers from across the nation collaborate to bring you inspired fare.  Several types of passes are available for your choosing as well as additional a la carte options.  Visit Rustico Ristorante during this time for our spectacular wine dinners where each course features a fine, limited production wine from a small, accomplished Italian winery or simply stop in to relax on our patio and enjoy rejuvenation paired with a marvelous coursed family dinner.
