BEAVER CREEK RESORT SUMMER 2008: LUXURY LIFESTYLE
DESTINATION DINING: Spago, the flagship restaurant of master chef Wolfgang Puck and the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group, opened at The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch in December 2007.

The space also includes a hip and sophisticated 37-seat bar and lounge for small groups to gather and socialize. The menu features Spago’s classics from over the years as well as new signature dishes locally inspired by the surrounding environment. ☼ A post-golf lunch at one of Red Sky Golf Club’s two eateries, Silver Sage and Summer Thyme, is about to become a bit more decadent.
