Lot #28 – Winter Wonderland Wine Dinner

Step back in time for a night with a very special dinner at Sun Valley’s historic and iconic Roundhouse Lodge, first opened in 1939. Perched high up on Bald Mountain, the restaurant boasts astounding views from every vantage point and is yours for the entire evening. Your winter wonderland adventure will begin with a festive gondola ride up to the lodge, complete with a delicious cocktail.

Once you reach the top, gather in the cozy dining room for a glass or two of bubbly from Schramsberg. As you relax and marvel at the view of tiny twinkling lights below, the resort’s talented and lauded Executive Chef,  John Murcko, will be busy in the kitchen, pulling out all the stops to prepare a scrumptious four-course gourmet feast for 40 guests. And then there’s the wine…Vintner Paul Leary will be pouring 90+ point wines from Napa’s renowned Blackbird Vineyards. Ehren Jordan from FAILLA will be pouring his award-winning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Later, you may find yourself fully sated, but the fun continues downstairs in Averill’s Bar. Dance the night away high above the valley floor and then collapse happily into a gondola for a smooth ride down the mountain under the light of a winter moon, guided by the luminous alpenglow and countless sparkling stars. This is winter in Sun Valley at its best.

This dinner is sold for $1,000 per person, for a maximum of 40 people. Dinner will take place on Thursday, February 26, 2015.
