If distilled spirits are your thing, check out Alpine Distilling’s Park City Social Aid & Pleasure Club for tastings, cocktails, live music and their famous “Alpine Gin Making Experience.”
For skiing and Olympics fans, the Utah Olympic Park is also in Park City, home to two museums and an official USOC training facility. The Alf Engen Ski Museum and George Eccles 2002 Olympic Winter Games Museum are definitely worth a stop too.
