The Cellar

An Award-Winning Wine List. Steaks to Match.

Allred's wine list is built around exceptional selections from around the world, paired with dry-aged and wagyu cuts — from bison ribeye to tomahawk. It's a pairing built for a room 10,551 feet above the valley.

Named for founder Ron Allred, who first stood on this exact site in 1978 and envisioned the resort that would become Telluride.

Getting Here

The Journey Is the First Course.

Before the wine is poured and before the first plate arrives, there's one unforgettable moment: floating quietly above Telluride beneath the San Juan peaks. Ride the free gondola to San Sophia Station and begin the evening the way it was meant to begin.

Après-Ski, Elevated

Telluride's Culture of Coming Together.

Telluride was voted North America's #1 ski resort for après-ski by OnTheSnow for the 2025–26 season — a town built around gathering after a day on the mountain. Allred's brings that same spirit to dinner: arrive by gondola, settle in above the clouds, and let the evening unfold the way only Telluride Ski Resort does it.
