The 15th anniversary of Hike, Wine & Dine fundraiser is back with a new date to capture the turning leaves at their peak. Taking advantage of the later peak fall foliage, this year’s event will be held on Oct. 1, offering attendees a breathtaking backdrop of vibrant autumn colors.
Hike, Wine & Dine combines the beauty of nature with the culinary delights of the local community. Attendees will embark on a scenic, family-friendly 5-mile hike with gourmet tasting stations along the trail hosted by some of the best local restaurants. The event aims to provide both a memorable experience for attendees and to support two important causes — Vail Health Shaw Cancer Center and Jack’s Place, a cancer caring house. Now in its 15th year, the event has raised more than $1.5 million for improving cancer care and providing a home away from home for patients and their families during treatment.
“We are thrilled to announce the new date as we celebrate the 15th anniversary Hike, Wine & Dine event which highlights the changing aspen trees,” Vail Health Foundation President Dan Pennington said. “As we embrace the beauty of autumn, Hike, Wine & Dine offers the perfect opportunity for our community to come together, sample delicious food, and support making a difference in the lives of cancer patients at the Shaw Cancer Center and Jack’s Place.”
The tasting stations will feature carefully prepared samples from local restaurants. From savory to sweet, attendees can expect a diverse range of flavors.
Building on 2022’s successful Après Hike Party, the 2023 event concludes with live entertainment by local favorite Turntable Review and additional food stations at the base of Beaver Creek. Attendees will also have the chance to learn more about the Shaw Cancer Center and Jack’s Place and the impact these organizations have. Tickets are available for the full hike, including breakfast, hike, tasting stations, and the Après Party. For those not interested in hiking, Après Hike Party tickets can be purchased separately.
