A Romantic Dinner in Telluride at 11,966 Feet
For a romantic dinner in Telluride, Alpino Vino sits about as far from an ordinary restaurant as the mountain allows — one small candlelit dining room at 11,966 feet on Gold Hill above Mountain Village, reached only by heated snowcoach and lit by a wood-burning fireplace. It is 21 and over, and a regular choice for proposals and anniversaries.
Special occasions
Alpino Vino for Proposals, Anniversaries and Date Nights
Its candlelit dining room, wood-burning fireplace and snowcoach arrival create an extraordinary setting for anniversaries, proposals and other meaningful occasions.
Dinner is 21 and over, which keeps the evening quiet. The snowcoach seats a set number, so everyone in the room arrived together and nobody is passing through.
