WINE & JAZZ FESTIVAL | WEEKEND GUIDE

Keystone Festival’s mountain guide to Wine & Jazz Weekend

Keystone Festivals are legendary for bringing summer fun to the mountains, but there’s so much more to do in Keystone, we can’t fit it all in one weekend! Lucky for you, we’ve narrowed down which Keystone activities pair best with each Keystone Festival so you can plan your perfect Keystone Festival weekend!

If you’re heading up for Keystone Wine & Jazz Festival on July 15th & 16th, make sure to round out your mountain weekend with our ultimate wine weekend mountain guide!

1. Tee Off and Chow Down at Keystone Ranch

Take some time on your wine weekend to find out what makes Keystone such a famous golf destination! With two distinctly different courses, The River Course and Keystone Ranch, your weekend is sure to be full of sweeping, breathtaking views from Keystone’s hidden gems. A touch of crisp mountain air, long summer days, and wildflower season make mid-July the perfect time to experience golf at Keystone. Plus, Keystone offers golf lessons, clinics, and even has family programs so no one gets left out! Make sure to reserve your tee time in advance to make sure you have time for a round before each day of Keystone Wine & Jazz Festival.

Keystone Ranch doesn’t just mean golfing! Want to make your weekend even more indulgent? Make a reservation at Keystone Ranch for a historic dining experience from an award-winning culinary team!

PLAYGROUND PRO TIP: If you book your lodging through Keystone Resort, you’ll receive a FREE day of golf on the day of your arrival!

2. Treat yourself at the Alpenglow Spa

Alpenglow Spa takes comfort to the next level! Whether you want to use the gym and sweat it out in the sauna, relax in a hot tub or heated pool, or treat yourself to a customizable massage, Alpenglow Spa at Keystone Lodge is the perfect basecamp for your next mountain weekend. Book a morning treat at the spa each day before heading over to River Run Village for the festival. Bringing the whole crew along? Never fear! The Lodge & Spa is family-friendly – especially with the gorgeous pool and proximity to shopping and dining in Lakeside Village.

PLAYGROUND PRO TIP: Book a detoxifying scrub and massage for the morning after your wine indulgences, the perfect end to a wine festival weekend!

3. Get the historic Keystone Experience at Ski Tip Lodge

Looking for a unique lodging and dining opportunity in beautiful east Keystone? Look no further than Ski Tip Lodge and Restaurant, an 1800’s stagecoach stop that was renovated by Max & Edna Dercum, founders of both Keystone Ski Resort and Arapahoe Basin. As skiing grew in the area, Ski Tip became a hub for breakfast, après, lodging, and telling tall ski tales! The legend continues today as guests can lodge and dine at one of the most historic spots in Keystone. This summer, Ski Tip will be offering après sessions on Fridays and Saturdays so you can sit, sip, and unwind with gorgeous and historic views of Keystone!

4. Take in the views at Mountain Top Yoga

Get your head in the clouds at Mountain Top Yoga on Keystone’s Dercum Mountain, only available on Saturdays and Sundays from June 24th until September 3rd! You choose your adventure – take the scenic gondola ride to the top of the mountain in just 12 minutes, OR, get your heart pumping with a hike to the top – just make sure you leave plenty of time to make it to the Summit! The instructors are able to provide tips for all levels of yoga experience, so don’t sweat it, just show up and flow! Whether you’re coming to Saturday, Sunday, or both days of Keystone Wine & Jazz Festival, you’ll want to make a weekend of out it just for this!

PRO TIP: If you’re not feeling a hike up, hike down after the yoga class instead to take in the views with a little less sweat!
