Austrian soul meets serious Burgundy in Utah

You walk into a hand-carved Austrian hunting lodge tucked into a Park City ski resort, and the wine list actually matches the room — intentional, specific, and a little surprising. This isn't the generic resort wine list full of Caymus and Kim Crawford you'd expect at altitude. Someone with a point of view built this.
The list leans into the restaurant's Austrian identity without being gimmicky about it — expect Austrian varietals alongside a Burgundy section anchored by names like Domaine Drouhin and Louis Jadot. The focus on organic, low-sulfite, and sustainably sourced producers gives it a coherent philosophy rather than a scattered grab-bag feel. It's not a sprawling deep-cellar list, but what's here is chosen with care. The gap is breadth — if you're hunting for New World depth or a broad by-the-glass rotation, this isn't that place.
The by-the-glass program is modest but not embarrassing — a Spanish Cava at $15 is an honest pour at a fair price for a resort setting. The glass selection reflects the list's restrained, curated approach rather than a high-volume BTG program. Don't expect a dozen options; expect a few well-chosen pours that match the room.
Spanish Cava (by the glass) — $15
At a resort where $20 cocktails are table stakes, a $15 glass of Cava is practically a gift. It's approachable, food-friendly, and a smart opener before you commit to a bottle.
Austrian varietals (house selection)
Most tables here will default to Burgundy or whatever the server suggests first. Don't sleep on the Austrian pours — they're the reason this list has a personality, and they're exactly right with the schnitzel.
Vérité Winery Le Désir NV
At $750 on list against a $500 retail, the markup is technically fair by fine dining standards — but Vérité in a Tyrolean ski lodge is an odd fit and you can do better with the budget here.
Austrian varietal (house selection) + Crispy Wiener Schnitzel
This is the most obvious call on the menu and it's obvious for a reason — a crisp, high-acid Austrian white cuts straight through the fried breading and lets the veal shine. It's why the list exists.
🎲 The Bottom Line
The Hirsch is the rare resort restaurant where the wine list feels like it was built by someone who actually cares — fair markups, a genuine Austrian thread, and a sommelier on the floor who can back it up. If you're skiing Silver Lake and want a bottle that matches the room, this is your stop.
Kimball Junction · Park City · New American with Asian and global influences
Hearth and Hill is a genuinely good neighborhood restaurant that treats its wine list as a supporting character rather than a draw — and for most of its guests, that's probably fine. If you're a wine-first diner, you'll find something drinkable here, but you won't find anything that makes you lean across the table and say 'you have to try this.'

Deer Valley (Snow Park base) · Park City · Café and Market
This is a café wine list, not a wine list café — and there's a real difference. If you're coming to Deer Valley Café for wine, recalibrate expectations; if you're already here for a sandwich and the Adelsheim Chardonnay happens to be on the menu, pour one and count it as a small win.

Main Street / Old Town · Park City · American Diner / Comfort Food
The Eating Establishment is a legitimate Park City institution — for breakfast. The wine list is a placeholder, not a program, and the markups are steep enough that you'd be better off with a Bloody Mary or a beer. Come for the comfort food, make peace with the wine.

The Brass Tag is exactly what it needs to be: a dependable après-ski wine stop where the list won't offend anyone and the Duckhorn will do the trick. Don't book a table here for the wine program, but don't let it stop you from enjoying a glass either.

Deer Valley (Empire Pass) · Park City · Modern American, mountain-inspired fine dining
Apex has the bones of a great wine program — proper storage, a knowledgeable team, serious producers — but the markups are so aggressive they undercut any goodwill the list earns. Drink well here if someone else is paying, or stick to a single glass and call it a night.

Bonanza Park · Park City · American Steakhouse & Seafood with Sushi and Raw Bar
Blind Dog is a 25-year Park City institution, and the wine list reflects that steadiness — dependable, familiar, and priced for a captive resort audience. Send your friends here for oysters and a solid Cab; just don't expect the list to be the reason they come back.
