Private Events at Alpino Vino, Telluride
Alpino Vino hosts private evening events during the Telluride Ski Resort winter season, at 11,966 feet on Gold Hill above Mountain Village, Colorado. Guests ride a heated snowcoach up from the gondola and sit down to dinner beside a wood-burning fireplace, in a room Telluride Ski Resort lists at up to 24 guests.
The evening
Private Dining at Alpino Vino: How It Works
A private event at Alpino Vino is the whole restaurant, after dark, for your group. The evening runs the way dinner does: the group gathers in Mountain Village at the bottom of Lift 4 in Mountain Village, boards a heated snowcoach, and climbs roughly twenty minutes up Gold Hill in the dark to the door.
What waits at the top is a small room — hand-hewn beams, stone floors, furniture built from reclaimed wine barrels, and a wood-burning fireplace going the whole evening. There is no road, no parking and no other party in the building.

The room
Alpino Vino Seating Capacity: Up to 24 Guests
Telluride Ski Resort lists Alpino Vino at up to 24 guests. That is a small number by design, and it is the whole point — Alpino Vino is a hütte, not a banquet room.
It suits a rehearsal dinner, a milestone birthday, a family gathering or a small company dinner. It does not suit a standing reception or a large wedding, and the snowcoach sets the same limit the dining room does.
Occasions
Private Celebrations and Group Dinners in Telluride
Alpino Vino hosts private celebrations and group dinners at 11,966 feet above Telluride, for up to 24 guests. The evening runs the same way whatever you are marking — a heated snowcoach up Gold Hill in the dark, then the whole restaurant to your group beside the fire.
Groups take the room for retirement dinners and retirement parties, milestone birthdays, and family celebrations that bring everyone up the mountain together. It suits a rehearsal dinner the night before a wedding at Alpino Vino, and anniversary and engagement dinners where the arrival matters as much as the meal.
The same room takes corporate and executive dinners, client dinners, holiday parties and small company gatherings. Twenty-four seats is the ceiling for all of them: the snowcoach sets the same limit the dining room does.
