I had the privilege of photographing a wedding at Gorrono Ranch earlier in the year and let me just say it was incredible. The location is unmatched and a perfect place for a sunset ceremony. The deck is amazing for cocktail hour too! The food was amazing, the staff was professional and made sure everything happened on time. 10/10 would recommend having your wedding here!

We had a great time skiing and then a great time recharging with live music and refreshments on the mountain. You will probably find a seat for your group but it helps to not wait too long. It gets crowded the closer to noon it gets.

What an incredible oasis on the mountain at Telluride? Our group met for lunch daily, and we enjoyed every bit of the experience from the cocktails to beer selection to live music to food! And don't forget to slide down the hill a few times.
The QR Code system went down on our last day, but the staff worked hard to accept orders at the counter and quickly deliver food.
Well done.

This used to be one of our favorite spots to grab food on the mountain, but now they have removed nearly all of their vegan options. All that’s left is a disappointing beyond burger (with no bun) and fries. It seems like Gorronos is going backwards when lots of other places are increasingly offering great animal-free options. At least bring back the mediocre veggie chili :/
