NEWS AND MEDIA

This summer, a variety of culinary, cocktail and wine offerings celebrate the senses, beginning with the FOOD & WINE Classic weekend next week, the debut of our seasonal menus at element 47 and Ajax Tavern, and a series of events from winemaker dinners to Sunday Brunches to slope-side barbecues.

The Food & Wine Classic celebrates its 34th year this June, welcoming the world’s most accomplished winemakers, celebrity chefs, and culinary experts in the breathtaking setting of Aspen.

U.S. Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) toured The Little Nell, Aspen’s only Five-Star, Five-Diamond hotel, on Saturday, May 21, to meet its employees and hear about the hotel’s involvement with the local community.

For the fifth consecutive year, The Little Nell served as the host venue for the Court of Master Sommeliers' Master Diploma Exams this week, where the Tasting and Service Exams were held. Of the 63 candidates vying for Master status, three were successful in their bid to earn the coveted red pin.

Patrick Dunn has been named Chef de Cuisine at element 47 at The Little Nell, following several years sowing his oats and rising the ranks at Aspen’s only Five-Star restaurant.
