The result of a new collaboration between Jackson Hole Winery and Astoria Hot Springs offers up an unforgettable culinary experience. On the banks of the beautiful Snake River, enjoy a wine tasting that showcases the best that the local winery has to offer.
What better way to unwind than a restorative mineral water soak followed by some exceptional local wine?
Wine Tasting & More
On Sundays and Thursdays through the end of September, head south of Jackson Hole to Astoria Hot Springs Park (look for the big red bridge spanning the Snake River). From 1 to 7 p.m., you can sample the locally crafted wines from Jackson Hole Winery. While reservations are not strictly required, they’re highly suggested.
Groups with reservations ($65 per person) will sample 7 or 8 wines from the award-winning Jackson Hole Winery and indulge in a charcuterie board. “It’s a great spot with nice indoor and outdoor space,” says Daniel Roork, winery manager. The patio, replete with Adirondack chairs for ultimate relaxation, overlooks the free-flowing river below.
“It’s a unique experience,” Roork added. “It’s a nice opportunity to get away from the bustle of Teton Village or downtown Jackson and enjoy a more secluded, mountain feeling.”
Summertime Pours for Every Palate
While there’s certainly no bad choice among the offerings from Jackson Hole Winery — a family-owned, boutique winery — Roork has a few top suggestions for warm summer days. He’s a fan of the Viognier — dry, crisp, and aromatic wine that jumps out of the glass with notes of apricot and white peaches. Perfect, he said, for a refreshing drink on a hot day.
Roork also highlighted the Alpine Glow Rosé — a light, crisp and refreshing sip that pairs beautifully with summer sunsets. Jackson Hole Winery products are available at their tasting rooms (also located on the Town Square and in Teton Village) and at all major liquor retailers in the valley.
