Bachelors Lounge debuts new apres classes at Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch
BEAVER CREEK — What’s the best way to wrap up a day of skiing Beaver Creek Mountain? Ski into the ski-in, ski-out Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch for apres ski atone of the new winter events taking place in Bachelors Lounge.
“We’ve created innovative apres ski events for guests and locals throughout the winter season,” said Stephanie Leavitt, director of sales and marketing for the resort. “There is something for everyone almost every day of the week.”
The event series features afternoon and early evening events like single-barrel bourbon tastings, sommelier-led wine teachings, a beer and cheese pairing and a craft cocktail class. The events give guests a way to enjoy themselves, but also have the opportunity to learn.
“When I introduce guests to a wine, I want them to feel comfortable, enjoy themselves and learn something they can take with them for the future,” said Jason Hunter, resort sommelier and teacher of the Secrets from the Cellar class.
