Cuisine defines culture, makes people happy, and brings us all together. From January 21-24, Beaver Creek Resort presented its annual Winter Culinary Weekend. Throughout the weekend the resort hosted special events offering cuisine from renowned guest chefs, as well as local restaurants.
This is an event for the senses – taste, smell, sight, and sound galore. Here are some of our favorite images from the weekend.
