Montana Master Chefs® 2018

The Wonder Women of Food and Wine

September 27–30, 2018

Each year, one of the most exciting highlights of fall is Paws Up’s Montana Master Chefs. And this year, it’s even more special because we’re celebrating the best of the best—not just among women, but among all who rule in food, wine, beer and spirits. Join us as we plate up our first female-inspired signature culinary event.

It’s a gathering place for foodies, oenophiles, spirits fans and beer connoisseurs who appreciate the finer things in life. In addition to gourmet meals, the weekend-long event offers live music, celebrity cook-offs, spa treatments, wilderness adventures and a little mixing and mingling with talented stars under Montana skies.

It’s here that men and women unite to experience the great outdoors and taste the ultimate in cuisine and wine pairings.

And the traditional MMC finale will continue—you’ll get to see the Featured Chefs duke it out in a Master Chef cook-off. One chef will take home the honor of the best of best, and all of our guests will have a win-win experience, no matter who emerges with this year’s bragging rights.
