Free Range Kitchen & Wine Bar

Top choice in Aspen & the Maroon Bells


Working uniquely with local farmers and ranchers, the recently opened Free Range Kitchen merits a trip down from Aspen. Pair a glass of peppery Gigondas with small-plate favorites like beef empanadas, blackened haricots verts with crispy garlic, pan-fried cheese with mushrooms and tapenade…suffice it to say, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. Bon appetit!
