THE STARS OF COLORADO EDITION

The art of ancestral cooking techniques and cultural flavors.

October 9 & 10th

TWO STAR FILLED DAYS IN BRECK

Taste Network produces more than an event— we write love letters to our planet and the rich traditions of cooking over embers. We’re taking ancient techniques, wrapping them in cultural reverence, and serving them up with a side of eco-conscious swagger. We bring together acclaimed chefs, mixologists, winemakers, and tastemakers to create immersive experiences that champion sustainability, celebrate cultural diversity, and leave a lighter footprint on this generous rock we call home.
