Sure, any event can sound fun, especially when delicious wines, great food and fabulous scenery are concerned. But when you hear more about that event directly from the person who has planned it, getting the inside scoop and personal recommendations, it’s even better. Listen to our In Good Taste Denver Podcast episode with Kristen Slater, who tells us all about the Breckenridge Wine Classic, happening August 22-22, 2026.

My guest for this episode is Kristen Slater, who produces the annual Breckenridge Wine Classic as well as several other great culinary travel events we’ve covered.

Kristen helps prepare us to attend this year’s Classic, with details of the event, a glimpse into what goes into planning it and coordinating all of the moving parts.

We talk about how special it is to be able to not only meet the people behind the wines and wineries, but to sit down with them over a meal when it comes to the paired dining experiences.

While you could attend one, a few or all the events, as schedule allows, Kristen gives some good tips for how to plan your schedule to best take advantage of the Breckenridge Wine Classic’s various offerings so that you get a taste of every type of event while still having downtime in which to enjoy this fun, historic mountain town.
