Hotel Jerome to Host Sixth Annual Epicurean Passport Weekend

Hotel Jerome, Auberge Collection will host the Epicurean Passport Weekend for its sixth consecutive year, bringing together culinary and beverage industry figures for a multi-day event at the Aspen property.

The weekend features exclusive lounges, intimate dinners, and curated experiences with world-renowned vintners, mixologists, and chefs. The format allows attendees to move between venues and programming throughout the event, sampling offerings from participating culinary professionals and wine specialists.

Hotel Jerome, described as the region's most storied property, has become the anchor venue for the annual gathering. The event's return signals sustained demand among luxury travelers and industry participants for experiential hospitality tied to food and wine programming.

The property's positioning within the Auberge Collection portfolio—which emphasizes distinctive, locally-rooted luxury properties—aligns with the event's focus on intimate culinary experiences rather than large-scale conferences. The recurring nature of the weekend, now in its sixth iteration, suggests established attendance patterns and sponsor participation.

The event underscores a broader industry trend of luxury hotels using food and beverage experiences as differentiators in a competitive market, particularly in destination properties like Aspen that draw affluent consumers with established spending patterns around hospitality.

As destination events continue to drive occupancy and ancillary revenue for luxury properties, the Epicurean Passport Weekend's longevity indicates the model's viability for Hotel Jerome's ownership and management structure.
