New this ski season are two cocktail hours offered daily from 3 - 4 pm and 7 - 9 pm with specials on featured drinks and wines by the glass.

Award-Winning Sommeliers

The Wine Bar is proud to have an award-winning wine program, led by a reputable team of sommeliers. Overseen by Wine Director Chris Dunaway, our knowledgeable staff aims to immerse you and your party in an extravagant Aspen wine experience. The team has continued to maintain a level of excellence while earning the Wine Spectator Grand Award every year since 1997 and receiving the World of Fine Wine’s “Best Hotel Wine List in the World” recognition in 2023, while also archiving the remarkable feat of graduating 13 of North America’s Master Sommeliers, the most of any establishment in the country. With that said, every guest will be enthralled by the level of charisma and expertise each sommelier brings to your dining experience.

Flavorful Wine Selection

Offering an extensive list of rare wines, The Wine Bar features around 35 different wines by the glass, charcuterie and cheese boards for light bites, as well as a full bar menu. As our on-site cellar has a wine collection of over 20,000 from the world’s highly esteemed vineyards, including Roulot and Romanée-Conti in Burgundy and Ridge and Screaming Eagle in California, this Aspen wine bar will feature a rotating selection to ensure your palate is fully satisfied every time you visit.

Take part in our Coravin Wine Tasting for $200 per person, available nightly after 7 pm by reservation only.
