Outlaw PartnersBig Sky Resort hosts third annual Vine and Dine Festival
BIG SKY RESORT
In an event sure to delight oenophiles and gastronomes alike, the annual Vine and Dine Festival returns to Big Sky Resort from Aug. 18-21.
The festival includes 16 different wine tasting and food pairing events, each individually priced, featuring hundreds of wines from 34 wineries that span the country and globe.
In addition to traditional wine tasting mixers, seminars and wine pairing dinners at multiple Big Sky restaurants, Vine and Dine offers unique “adventure tastings” where guests can taste pinot noir at the top of 11,166-foot Lone Mountain or, for the less extreme, a picnic pairing while taking in the vistas from the comfort of Everett’s 8800.
Vine and Dine aims to not only educate visitors about wines and wine pairings, but also to provide an opportunity to taste obscure, boutique wines from around the world, while celebrating Big Sky’s local arts and culture.
Special guests include California-based Master Sommelier Fred Dame, the first American to serve as President of the Court of Master Sommeliers Worldwide; Master Sommelier Jay Fletcher from Colorado; Google Global Program Chef Scott Giambastiani; and Kent Torrey, cheese-pairing specialist and owner of The Cheese Shop in Carmel, California.
Vine and Dine begins at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 18, with an opening reception on the terrace of the Summit Hotel showcasing a wide variety of wines and a live painting performance by Hamilton artist Troy Collins.
The Vine and Dine Grand Event is on Saturday, Aug. 20, from 5:30-9:30 p.m. and features more than 100 wines and three distinctly different culinary presentations located around the Summit Hotel and Lone Peak Pavilion.
Tickets and a full schedule of events are available at bigskyresort.com/things-to-do/events-calendar/2016/august/vine-and-dine.
The Outlaw Partners is a creative marketing, media and events company based in Big Sky, Montana.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
