Solitude Pigs And Vino
Catch Will Bucklin’s wines also up at Solitude Mountain Resort on August 3rd. Enjoy a menu of locally-sourced food prepared with ingredients hand-selected by Chef Craig Gerome – another of my favorite Utah chefs. You might know Gerome’s name from former stints at HSL etc.
You’ll get to mix and mingle with the wine maker before settling in for a five-course meal at the communal mountain tables; all the while taking in the scenery you see above – that’s last years event by the way.
The five-course dinner focused on pork is priced $95 per person; knock off $45 if you don’t want the wine pairing. There are 48 seats max for this event.

I’ve worked extensively with multiple local publications from Visit Salt Lake to Salt Lake Magazine, not least helped to consult on national TV. Pause those credits, yep, that’s me! I’m also a former restaurant critic of more than five years, working for the Salt Lake Tribune. I’m largely fueled by a critical obsession with rice, alliteration and the use of big words I don’t understand.
