Made In Park City

In 2006, High West became Utah's first legal distillery since 1870. High West began with humble roots, opening a small, 250-gallon still and Saloon in a historic livery stable and garage. To tie in Park City’s past to their brand, the horseshoe in High West’s logo and on their bottle honors a shoe they found during the renovation of the “National Garage”, which was originally a livery stable to service the workhorses that pulled the heavy ore carts up and down to the mines. What was once a small operation in downtown Park City has grown to be an internationally-recognized, award-winning brand. High West sources whiskey from around the world, releasing seasonal blends and their own distilled whiskeys. Bottles such as Bourye and A Midwinter's Night Dram are sought after by enthusiasts and collectors alike. Right off the Quit'n Time ski run on Park Avenue and a short walk from Historic Main Street, the High West saloon is one of the few places that you can buy liquor on Sunday as they distill on-site and it's the only ski in/ski out distillery in North America. Stop by for dinner, a gift, bottles of premium whiskey, or just a cocktail and revel in High West's premium selection of spirits. 

Much of the inspiration for Ritual Chocolate comes from living and creating a business in Park City. Getting outside into nature, mountain biking, skiing, and just being in the mountains is a big part of the Ritual Chocolate philosophy. These pro chocolatiers produce small batch, bean-to-bar chocolate using classic European methods and premium cacao from select sources. Founded in 2010 by Robbie Stout and Anna Davies, their mission is to produce exceptional quality chocolate while celebrating the complexity of the cacao bean. At their small factory in Park City, they are involved with the entire process because they want to ensure their values for the highest achievable quality are present every step of the way. They source some of the highest quality cacao in the world to make their chocolate, creating nuanced flavors specific to the regions the beans come from. Stop by their cafe on Iron Horse Drive for treats, coffee, pastries, bites, and of course chocolate. Bring home a gift bar bundle—because who wouldn’t be delighted by delicious chocolate made locally with care and intention?

Offset Bier Co’s ethos is one of by-locals-for-locals and founders Conor Brown and Patrick Bourque wanted to create a space around that idealogy whereParkites don't have to travel far to enjoy their craft beers. The brewery even organizes a weekly Thursday ski or run group, where people of all abilities are invited to meet up for a jog from the brewery or to skin up (WINTER ONLY) Park City Mountain at 5:30 p.m. before heading back to the taproom to enjoy a couple of beverages. Stop into the new taproom for small-batch, locally produced beer that will blow away any misconception about Utah brewing culture.

What makes Park City Jewelers exceptionally unique is that they make a large portion of their jewelry in-store at their Park City location. Ken Whipple, founder, and owner of Park City Jewelers, has always had a fascination with geology and gemstones, and for the past 25 years, he has transformed this passion into one of the most unique jewelry stores you'll ever visit. Being in the heart of the world’s greatest skiing and snowboarding destination, it makes sense that inspiration would strike as these delicate bits of snow perfectly blanket the ground each winter. Almost 30 years ago, shortly after opening the store, such inspiration struck Ken, when he created the original Park City snowflake pendant. This is a great gift idea for the person who loves Park City and the greatest snow on Earth!
