Ride + Dine Series with The Little Nell

A beloved summer tradition at The Little Nell, the Ride + Dine Series—offered in partnership with the Aspen Center for Environmental Studies (ACES)—invites cyclists to embark on a scenic journey from Aspen to the newly reopened Catto Center at Toklat in Ashcroft, culminating in an al fresco dining experience.

In celebration of The Little Nell’s notable wine program, an optional wine pairing add-on will be available. Both events will feature a wine expert or winemaker who will join participants for the ride to Toklat and present a flight of wines at dinner.
