The next course in Deer Valley Resort’s Taste of Luxury series features Michelin Star Chef Giancarlo Morelli, one of Italy’s most recognizable culinary icons, for a series of exclusive events including a VIP meet-and-greet reception, five-course Italian dinners with wine pairings, an intimate hands-on cooking class followed by a coursed lunch, and a farewell brunch with an Italian cooking demo. Events with Chef Morelli will take place from March 10, 11, and 12, 2023 in The Brass Tag restaurant located at The Lodges at Deer Valley.
“We are thrilled to welcome Chef Giancarlo Morelli to Deer Valley for the third installment of our Taste of Luxury Series this winter,” said Deer Valley Resort Vice President of Food and Beverage Jacob Musyt. “The entire resort team is looking forward to showcasing his renowned Italian Cuisine in our beautiful alpine setting.”
One of Italy’s most notable and respected culinary masters, Michelin Star Chef Giancarlo Morelli is well-known for his commitment to simplicity, balance, and respect for ingredients, even from a young age when he was often described as a “child prodigy.” Chef Morelli has celebrated restaurants in Sardinia and Milan, and the award-winning Pomiroeu restaurant in Seregno, Italy where he is deeply connected to the lands and local ingredients of age-old producers and purveyors.
In more recent years, Chef Morelli has partnered with other prominent Italian chefs such as Chef Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana and Chef Aurora Mazzuchelli to promote and immortalize Italian cuisine around the world. Admirably, Chef Morelli has also worked with Norbert Niederkofler and Paolo Ferretti to develop the organization CARE’s – a project designed to broadly advocate for a more sustainable and ethical approach to food.
Chef Morelli has a penchant and deep reverence for rice, which is unusual for Italian chefs. Previously, Chef Morelli’s signature risotto has won the distinction of Italy’s “Riso Gallo Risotto dell’Anno.”

I’m way late on getting this one out, but felt it was important to share due to the sheer size of the commitment and the impact to our community. See below.
High West, the Park City-based distillery known for its meticulously sourced and innovatively blended whiskeys, announces today its Protect the West initiative, a $1 million commitment over the next three years to protect the land and its inhabitants. The announcement coincides with the national release of High West’s seasonal bottle Campfire, one of the brand’s most unique and iconic expressions. In honor of Campfire, the first donation will benefit the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting the brave few who run towards the fire, including the wildfires increasingly plaguing the West.
Since opening its doors in 2007, High West has witnessed firsthand how the West has been impacted by a rapidly changing climate, resulting in higher temperatures, severe droughts, drier forests and reduced snowpack. Immediately taking note, the brand has donated more than $1M to nonprofits to date, with the majority of those funds going toward organizations protecting the West and its inhabitants. Now, High West is reaffirming and strengthening this commitment to its own backyard. As part of the Protect the West initiative, High West will partner with organizations that share High West’s passion for the West and whose conservation efforts fall into three focus areas: the fight against wildfires, protecting winters and wildland preservation.
“Now is not the time for us to sit on the sidelines. Our home in the West and everything we love about it is in more and more danger every year,” said Daniel Schear, General Manager of High West. “We’re building on our past work with this $1 million commitment to protect the West, and we are excited to work with those who are also passionate about saving this beautiful part of the world we call home.”
The $150,000 inaugural donation will be split between three organizations to support them in their crucial missions. Future donations will be announced over the course of the next three years as High West continues to identify and support organizations striving to Protect the West.
● Wildland Firefighter Foundation, dedicated to helping the families of firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assisting injured firefighters and their families.
● Protect Our Winters, a community of athletes, scientists, creatives, and business leaders advancing non-partisan policies to protect our outdoor playgrounds from climate change.
● American Prairie, creating the largest nature reserve in the contiguous United States by purchasing critical habitat that connects a vast network of existing public lands for wildlife conservation and public access.
In recognition of the Campfire release and to continue supporting the brave protectors who defend us from fires each and every day, High West is donating $50,000 to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation and matching consumer donations up to an additional $50,000. The American West is burning more quickly than it has in a decade, and over three million acres of U.S. land – almost the size of Connecticut – have burned so far this year. The donation to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation will directly benefit the families of fallen and injured firefighters, honoring those who tirelessly work to protect our lands.

Head up to the very top of Park City’s main street and you will find Park City Provisions, a project of dining mainstay Riverhorse on Main. The building is an interesting setup, with the restaurant on the bottom level, a grocery market and grab-and-go deli on the second level, and the beautiful Imperial House on the top levels. Recently Provisions unveiled their new dinner menu for the restaurant.
“We’re excited to unveil our refreshed focus on Provisions by Riverhorse’s full-service restaurant experience,” says Executive Chef Seth Adams. “The addition of our dinner service gives our guests a chance to enjoy our casual take on a sit-down dinner menu without sacrificing the exceptional service our guests come to expect at any of our Riverhorse establishments.”
The menu offers a nice selection of options, with dishes like fries with parmesan, garlic, herbs, and fry sauce, and other selections like nachos, wild game chili, and crispy Buffalo chicken bites.
For the main entrées, diners have the choice of halibut tacos, smoked BBQ baby back ribs with a delicious apple fennel slaw, Provisions burger on a brioche bun with a truffle mustard aioli, goat cheese stuffed chicken breast, and my favorite dish: the super-rich buffalo short rib stroganoff, with cognac cream and wild mushrooms.
Provisions could be a place where locals go to get away from the crowds and enjoy a nice low-key dinner without paying Main Street prices.
Park City Provisions by Riverhorse is open 7:30 am – 9:00 pm daily. The “Provisions after
Dark” dinner menu is available nightly to guests from 4:00 pm – 9:00 pm.
Hoof & Vine is offering a dinner for two for $100, which includes a starter to share, salad course, a steak flight featuring a 44 Farms bavette, C.A.B. tenderloin, and Piedmontese top sirloin. Dessert is a chocolate caramel tart. Optional wine pairing is $50 per guest. Give them a call at (801) 569-4645 or online at hoofandvine.com
