Gourmet Week

Gourmet Week is an original concept created by Shelly and I over Thanksgiving Dinner in 1999.

Shelly and I thought that the integration of an Authentic Western Dude Ranch Vacation with savory culinary delights prepared by renowned Chefs would help showcase the changing of the aspens and welcome Fall to the Colorado Rocky Mountains at our beautiful Ranch. Gourmet Week is now an annual celebration at the Powderhorn Ranch.

The Powderhorn Ranch is surrounded by 1.4 million acres of National Forest and BLM Land & backs up to over 64,000 acres of the Powderhorn Primitive Wilderness.

During Gourmet Week, Celebrity Chefs from all over the Country converge on the Powderhorn Ranch to prepare sumptuous, original cuisine creations and share fellowship with our guests.

During their stay, the Chefs and our Guests enjoy all the adventures offered by the Powderhorn Ranch. Our Guests get to mingle with these culinary celebrities on a daily basis!

Our Ranch adventures during Gourmet Week include; hiking, World Class fishing, Jeep tours, nightly western entertainment, Horse rides and much more!

After a full day of Gourmet food, riding and western activities, you may choose to unwind in our heated pool and Jacuzzi or relax with friends on the Ross Lodge porch.

Powderhorn Ranch Owners - Shelly & Greg Williams, and their capable, experienced Staff are your hosts for the week. Shelly and Greg Williams are dedicated to providing an Authentic Western Dude Ranch Vacation for all of our Guests. With the aid of their excellent staff, Greg and Shelly offer an environment where you will not only enjoy fantastic Gourmet Food each meal of each day, but where you are certain to make life-long friends.

The Powderhorn Ranch atmosphere is secluded, personal, and friendly - showcased in a beautiful Rocky Mountain setting.

Gourmet Week at the Powderhorn Ranch is only $1,650.00 per person for the entire week. That includes all food, lodging, beverages, wines AND your fantastic Ranch adventures!
