The Resort at Paws Up Hosts Best Food and Wine Festival in 2017

Everyone needs something special to look forward to in the middle of winter, and the second annual WinterFest at The Resort at Paws Up wont disappoint. This gourmet weekend is taking place January 19-22, 2017 featuring outstanding guest chefs, wine pairings, a featured brewery, distillery, hand-on cooking classes and plenty of wilderness adventures.

Paws Up Executive Chef Ben Jones will be joined by Chef Colby Garrelts and Chef Megan Garrelts from the Kansas City restaurants Bluestem and Rye as well as Top Chef Season 10 first runner-up and Paws Up favorite, Chef Brooke Williamson, co-owner/co-chef of Playa Provisions, The Triple and Hudson House. Kelly Liken, of Iron Chef America and Top Chef fame and a three-time James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef Southwest, will round out the talented cast of featured chefs. Master Sommelier Chuck Furuya will select hearty, blood-warming wines for the winter-themed meal. Saturday night festivities include a performance from Austin-based singer-songwriter Brian Pounds—of The Voice—with his soulful blend of Americana, country and rock.
