California Girl Approved: Why Park City Wine Fest is Worth the Trip

Fall is for sweaters, mountain air, and a really good glass of wine. While California’s wine country may always have my heart, when I tell you Park City, Utah knows how to throw a wine festival. After experiencing the Spring Wine Festival, you can bet my team will be back for the fall edition.

Every October, my favorite mountain town transforms into a wine lover’s playground with hundreds of wineries, elevated tastings, chef-driven pairings, and outdoor adventures that make the high-altitude setting unlike anywhere else. And it all happens at Canyons Village.

🏔️ The Setting

Park City in the fall is a dream: crisp mountain air, golden foliage, and fewer crowds than ski season.
Unlike a vineyard-based wine festival, here you get a mix of world-class wine culture and alpine adventure.

🍽️ Food & Pairings

Local chefs, farm-to-table experiences, and culinary pairings elevate the weekend.
Think: wine paired with wild game, artisanal cheeses, and seasonal fall flavors.

✨ The Lifestyle

A reason to pull out your cozy-chic fall fashion.
Perfect for Instagrammable moments: wine glass in hand, mountains in the background, golden-hour glow.

💫 Why It’s Worth the Trip

For those outside Utah (hi, California girl here 🙋‍♀️), this isn’t just about the wine. It’s about a destination weekend where you sip, savor, and soak up the mountain lifestyle.
Easy flights into Salt Lake City, then just a short drive up the canyon—making it both accessible and adventurous.

If you’ve been looking for a fall trip that blends luxury, adventure, and a little indulgence, Park City Wine Fest checks every box. From clinking glasses at 7,000 feet to wandering charming Main Street, it’s a weekend that proves the best wine experiences aren’t just found in wine country.
