Short Trips

Claremont Inn & Winery ~ Stratton, CO

​There are times when one needs or wants a break to recharge their minds & bodies… but carving out precious moments for that quick getaway can be challenging. Where can you go for a short, fun and reasonably priced weekend, yet still make great memories, not spend the who trip driving and possibly learn a new recipe? The Claremont Inn is a perfect recipe for this type of getaway!
 
You can choose from several options depending on your budget, tastes and desire.  Whether you wish to seclude yourself in one of the beautiful themed bedrooms, watch a movie in the theater room or join other guests in a group event, the choice is yours.  No matter what you choose, the fresh, yummy cookies will be waiting for you!
 
The Claremont Inn and Winery is located just off of I-70 in Stratton, CO.  19 miles from Elitch Gardens Carousel in Burlington, CO and 61 miles from Sherman State Fishing Lake.  You will find 10 beautifully themed bedrooms with mini fridge, tvs and en suite bathrooms to finish out the rooms. 
 
Dave & Harry are the owners of the inn and each plays and important roll.  Dave is a trained gourmet Chef and Harry is the quality Wine Maker. 
 
One of the events that I personally love is the themed cooking class that is hosted each month by Chef Dave.  We have attended several of these and each time, we make new friends with other attendees. Typically these classes start around 1 pm and end with everyone sitting down to enjoy the fruits of their labor.  Wine tasting is also part of this event and continues as part of the meal. Chef Dave takes the time to gather all the fresh ingredients needed prior to class, give educational tidbits and history on the recipes chosen and demonstrate proper techniques.
Chef Dave leads each class, inspired by his favorite quote: "The best definition of 'gourmet' is simple things done well."
 
Other options include: Wine Tasting, Lodging & Breakfast only ( B&B), Murder Mystery Dinners, Escape Room (this is a lot of fun with a group!!), packages available with golf also or you can even rent the whole inn for a private event.
 
So, what are you waiting for?  Come and make some special memories. I’m sure you will find the Claremont Inn beautiful and Dave, Harry and the staff friendly! And who knows, you might even make new friends!
