The event was a great success and allowed us to hold an event in Lionshead.

We advertised in the Front Range leading up to the event. Visitors intent to return was a 4.6 out of 5. Measures that could be taken for event improvement: Snow was here, but this year leading up to April did not acquire enough to bring true spring skiers here.

Wednesday, May 31, 17 Community Contribution 16 Taste of Vail is a celebration of the outstanding food, wine and culture that is abundant in beautiful Vail, Colorado. The Taste of Vail’s impact on the community is from the promotion of Vail as a world class culinary destination. Events were held throughout Vail: Vail Mountain, Gore Creek Drive, Lionshead and many Taste of Vail restaurants and hotels, who hosted pop up dinners and educational seminars. The community is a large part of our event because Taste of Vail is a volunteer organization.
