Pinch-Me Moments Ahead of the Aspen Food & Wine Classic

If you crave moments that go beyond the ordinary, that move you and inspire you, then look no further than a curated adventure to Aspen with your partner in personal aviation.

With the help of our partners, we recently had the opportunity to produce two unforgettable evenings that captured the spirit of summer in Aspen’s unique local flavor.

A Golden-Hour Gathering: Private Rooftop Dinner at The Motherlode Aspen

As the sun dipped behind Aspen Mountain, guests climbed to the penthouse rooftop of The Motherlode Aspen for sweeping alpine views. The space filled with laughter and the clink of glasses as invitees enjoyed seamless hospitality that made everyone feel welcomed back home.

Elevated Lifestyle partners KEY.co and Amásé Stays set the stage for an evening that felt exclusive and effortless. Passed hors d’oeuvres preceded a seated dinner, with each course paired with a curated bourbon tasting guided by Bourbon Lore, whose stories of heritage and craft wove flawlessly into the artful plates that guests enjoyed.

“This evening went beyond our wildest dreams, not because of the food, the drinks, or the setting. It was the power of people coming together and accomplishing an immaculate event that our guests will not soon forget,” shared Lauren Sheffield, Director of Marketing at KEY.co.

As the evening unfolded, Aspen faded into a soft glow, and the rooftop became its own enclave. Time stalled, connections deepened, and every detail was attended to with care. This was an experience that lingers long after the last toast.

Art at Altitude: Modern Luxury Aspen’s Art of the Party

The following evening, the Aspen Art Museum became a vibrant canvas for Modern Luxury Aspen’s Art of the Party event. As guests arrived, the museum’s modern architecture transformed with DJ beats drifting in open air, fresh florals and gourmet bites, and the buzz of conversation as old friends reunited and new connections sparked in downtown Aspen.

At this rooftop party, every detail was a celebration of Aspen’s pioneering spirit. No guest went hungry with Chef Alex Forsythe’s caviar, Sant Ambroeus’ zabaglione-filled Beignets, and Field2Fork’s artisan cheeses and candied bacon all tempted the palate. Signature cocktails included blueberry ranch water, Channé Rosé, and rum spritzes that flowed as guests mingled and tasted the best bites in Aspen.

The evening’s highlight was a Q&A with Antoni Porowski, whose warmth and humor drew laughter and applause. Just how Antoni lit up the room, our presence was felt in the way every guest was made to feel seen, welcomed, and inspired.

What sets these moments apart is not just the setting or the guest list, but the sense of belonging and possibility that we bring to every experience. For us, true luxury is about the way a moment makes you feel. It’s the warmth of a welcome, the thrill of discovery, and the comfort of knowing that every moment is crafted with care. As the Food & Wine Classic ends and Aspen’s summer comes alive, we invite you to experience Aspen as an insider.
