Come Memorial Day, the only thing bigger than a Lone Star barbecue will be the one right here at The Resort at Paws Up. Among other great pit masters, Chef Evan LeRoy and Chef Wayne Mueller will be bringing their tastes of Texas to our meatiest event of the year.

They’ll not only stoke the flames of meaty goodness, but also bring a little kick from custom sauces and rubs. Hang onto your cowboy hats as we pile on wilderness adventures as only Paws Up does them, and fill the Big Sky with the best from Montana’s music scene. We’re even knocking on doors in Napa to bring in some of the finest wines from Round Pond Estate. If you’re a fan of great—make that amazing—BBQ, be sure to sear Montana Master Grillers into your 2020 calendar.
