Montana Master Chefs®: Northwest

Wave after wave of coastal culinary delights

On the very left edge of the continent, the Pacific Northwest (PNW) has given birth to a vibrant foodie scene outdone by no other region in the U.S. With a deep roster of ultra-creative chefs, Seattle and Portland in particular are taking American cuisine into wonderful new territories. And, come September, Paws Up Montana serves up the best of the best at the height of the harvest season during our annual signature culinary event.

Follow the autumn winds to Montana Master Chefs® 2021, and you’ll be dining on ranch dishes inspired by the Pacific Rim’s incredible biodiversity. The ocean yields a swath of seafood from delicious Dungeness crabs to Chinook salmon. The rainforest hillsides yield a diverse array of truffles and mushrooms. Berries of all stripes, juicy and sweet, cozy up to the abundance of pears, apples and peaches. And follow your nose further inland to magnificent Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays.

Naturally, our three-day fall foodie weekend brings perfect wine pairings, along with other craft beverages, plus live local musical performances and, of course, phenomenal outdoor adventures in a setting beyond compare.

...exploring passions (and maybe finding a few new ones) is really what the Montana Master Chefs event is all about. Over the span of four days, I’d gotten the chance to savor unbelievable food, relax by the fire with a good book, taste wine well outside...
