Telluride Food + Vine

ACTIVITIES & ENTERTAINMENT

The 2027 schedule opens Friday, June 11, with Family Dinner at Elks Park, a live-fire grilling session followed by a family-style meal and wine pairings. Saturday brings the Grand Tasting, a walkable afternoon of hundreds of national, international, and regional wines with bites from chefs and mixologists around Oak Street Plaza.

Seminars like Blended Reds at the Ah Haa School of the Arts let you taste Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot on their own, then mix your own blend. On Sunday, June 13, ride the gondola to Mountain Village for Rosé & Croquet on Conference Center Plaza, or head to Sunday Brunch at Mountain Lodge.

ON-SITE AMENITIES

Festival venues are a mix of outdoor plazas, parks, and indoor spaces in both towns. The free gondola links downtown Telluride and Mountain Village, so you can move between events without a car.

Bring a valid ID, sunscreen, and layers, since June afternoons are warm and evenings get cold fast at this elevation. Pets aren't allowed at festival events, only service animals. Drink plenty of water, because wine hits harder at altitude.

LOCATION

The Grand Tasting is on Oak Street Gondola Plaza, W. San Juan Ave., Telluride, CO 81435, at the base of the gondola in downtown Telluride. Telluride Food + Vine runs from Friday, June 11, to Sunday, June 13, 2027, with more events in Mountain Village.

FAQs About RVing to Telluride Food + Vine

Can I camp in Telluride during the festival?

Yes. Telluride Town Park Campground is a short walk from downtown. Reservations open in booking windows each spring, and the town plans to post 2027 details in early 2027.

Does Town Park Campground have hookups?

No. It's dry camping only, so arrive with full water and charged batteries. Rigs must be 30 feet or less, including any tow vehicle.

Can I bring a big RV to Telluride?

Larger rigs do better at Forest Service campgrounds along Highway 145 or at Ridgway State Park, then drive into town.

Are kids allowed at festival events?

No. All Telluride Food + Vine events are 21 and older.

RVING AT THE EVENT

RVing to Telluride means mountain views from your campsite, but the in-town options are small. In 2026, Telluride Town Park Campground ran from May 15 to October 4, with online reservations released in four windows. Check-in runs from 3 to 9 p.m. with no early arrivals, and checkout is at 2 p.m.

The Forest Service runs Sunshine and Matterhorn campgrounds south of town off Highway 145. Ridgway State Park, about 40 miles north, has full hookup sites and suits larger RVs.

Mountain roads into Telluride climb and wind, so take it slow and use lower gears on the descents. Nights can dip near freezing in June, so pack warm bedding and check your furnace and propane before you go. Book your campsite as early as you can, since the summer festival season keeps sites busy.

WHERE TO STAY

Hotels and condos in Telluride and Mountain Village fill up for festival weekends. The festival's lodging partners have included The Peaks Resort & Spa and Mountain Lodge in Mountain Village.

With extra time, hike to Bridal Veil Falls at the end of the canyon, ride the free gondola for the views, or walk Colorado Avenue's shops and galleries. Telluride Bluegrass Festival follows a week later, on June 17–20, 2027, if you want to stay for more.

HOW TO GET THERE

From Montrose, take U.S. 550 south to Ridgway, then Colorado 62 west to Placerville and Colorado 145 into Telluride, about 65 miles in total. From Cortez and the south, follow Colorado 145 north over Lizard Head Pass.

Colorado 145 is a two-lane mountain highway with steep grades, so give yourself extra time in a big rig. Fill up on fuel, propane, and groceries in Montrose or Ridgway, since choices are limited and pricier in the canyon. Montrose Regional Airport is the closest major airport, about 1.5 hours away. Telluride Regional Airport sits just outside town but has limited flights.

PARKING

Downtown Telluride is compact, and street parking is limited and enforced. Leave your RV at camp and walk, bike, or use the free gondola and town bus.

If you drive a smaller vehicle into town, plan to arrive early. Mountain Village has a parking garage near the gondola, but it isn't built for RVs.
