Experience Louis Dupuy's legendary Hotel de Paris through wine and food. Explore Hotel de Paris Museum in a quieter setting with a knowledgeable tour guide and see where culinary history was made. Parisian-trained cook Louis Dupuy was widely known as the best cook in the Colorado Territory and built his reputation on his first-class French restaurant and distinctive selection of fine wines. Enjoy French or California wine inspired by Dupuy's famous cellar alongside platters of charcuterie and cheeses. If you are visiting Georgetown, Colorado and are passionate about food and drink culture, this is a quality experience you will not want to miss!
The National Trust for Historic Preservation challenged its historic sites to embrace their cultures. At Louis Dupuy's Hotel de Paris, the culture is food and drink (culinary history).
Each occurrence of the program (fourth Friday June-September) has been well attended and generated enough income to pay for the event and raise operating funds for museum operations.
