The Breckenridge Distillery is another favorite of ours when we’re looking for great food and a fun atmosphere. We should note that the only alcoholic beverages available are cocktails made with Breckenridge Distillery spirits. They’re fantastic drinks, but no wine or beer is available.

Having a vehicle is a must when visiting Breckenridge, but Uber and Uber Ski are available if you want to head in to town without having to worry about driving back home. Make sure you have 4WD/AWD when snow is possible (October to May). If 4WD/AWD is not an option, AutoSocks are the next best option. Napa Auto in Frisco usually has plenty in stock. You can also order off of Amazon in advance of your trip.

What to Pack
Make sure you bring warm clothes, even when traveling in the summer. Highs occasionally get in to the low 80’s in the summer, but most of the time summer highs are in the 70’s. Summer lows are often in the 50s, so a sweatshirt or light jacket will allow you to enjoy the fire pit at night!
