Giddy Up, Buckaroos! Triple Creek Ranch Spring Events

Save the dates! Triple Creek Ranch is an award-winning luxury ranch resort in western Montana, approximately 75 miles south of Missoula. An all-inclusive mountain retreat for adults and children aged 16 and older. Our favorite ‘adult’ Dude Ranch offers Signature events January – June. In the spring, following the high spirits of winter holidays, the ranch settles down to a leisurely pace that affords opportunities to share their Signature Events, delving deeper into their indoor ranch passions. Food, Wine, Art, Fly fishing and Cowboy culture, explore the Triple Creek Ranch experience, with a long starter weekend and come back for summer riding!

The intrinsic beauty of Montana, the expertise of their event partners, and the camaraderie of kindred spirits all converge in the serene mountain ranch resort setting, creating unforgettable encounters. With a small number of exceptions for select activities, the unique programming during their Signature Event weekends commands no additional fee for participation. They provide keepsake chef aprons, art supplies, exquisitely talented professionals and an awful lot of fun.

Their vintner partners work hard throughout the year tending to vines, harvesting, pressing and devoting constant attention to the fermentation process. When they join Triple Creek for their signature Vintner Weekends, they get to relax and share the fruits of their labor with guests. Vintners join guests at play, enjoying various ranch activities. Wine tastings and pairings are enhanced by the knowledge imparted during informal seminars and impromptu conversation.

Wine tasters or puzzlers – rope your partner or round up a group of girlfriends to ride and sip!

Triple Creek Ranch has a robust schedule of Vintner Events lined up for 2019. These Signature events are infused with the distinct personalities of each vintner partner and offer guests an intimate experience with preeminent winemakers from the fertile valleys of Northern California and Oregon. They are an ideal combination of adventure and some serious wine appreciation in our serene mountain setting. Over the course of the weekend you’ll enjoy wine tastings with the visiting vintner, wine pairing dinners, special activities and seminars, plus outdoor and indoor activities ranging from fly-fishing and horseback riding to hiking and guided nature tours. Whether you are a budding wine connoisseur or a seasoned professional, Vintner weekends promise to please the palate of foodies and oenophiles alike.

Stave Puzzles Save the Date April 25 – 29, 2019 Stave Puzzle Weekend!

Triple Creek Ranch is proud to be in partnership with Vermont based Stave Puzzles. For over 40 years, Stave Puzzles has been handcrafting wooden jigsaw puzzles, each custom piece meticulously hand cut from cherry wood. Irregular edges, special cutting features and whimsical silhouette puzzle pieces are trademarks of these notoriously clever works of art that provide endless hours of entertainment. As a Relais & Chateaux luxury resort partner with Stave, the Ranch displays their customized puzzle boards in the Activity Center and the Rooftop Lounge. Upon completion, each puzzle is replaced with a new challenge. These are no ordinary puzzles and be warned, just like their Sapphire Panning, Stave Puzzle solving is habit-forming!

Puzzler Alert! Stave Puzzle Weekend April 26 – April 30, 2018
. Puzzle to Your Heart’s Content. If you haven’t ever mastered a fine wooden Stave Puzzle, this is a great time to introduce yourself to these collectible fiercely challenging puzzles, they are works of art, not a standard cardboard puzzle.

Triple Creek Ranch in Montana offers a full range of activities besides Ranch related riding and fishing. Sitting down to one of the Stave puzzle boards in the Triple Creek Activity Center or fireside in the Rooftop Lounge is a favorite pastime for Triple Creek Ranch guests. These devilish, hand-carved creations are the cause of much vexation and delight!

In 2016 the Ranch welcomed their first group of puzzlers to an official Stave Puzzle Weekend. The intimate, tranquil nature of Triple Creek Ranch proved to be a great setting to focus on these fun, diabolical puzzle challenges and the weekend was a great success! They will host the Annual Stave Puzzle Weekend from April 26 through April 30, 2018 and once again the team from Stave Puzzles will join the guests at the Ranch. Learn more about the creation of these masterful mind-teasers and test your skill alongside fellow guests for chances to win a prized Stave Puzzle.

All puzzling activities are included in the all-inclusive nightly cabin rate. It is a perfect excuse to slip away for a weekend, cozied up with tea or a glass of wine to exercise your mind! Take a break from puzzling for a horseback ride or hike through endless miles of Montana forest.

I can attest to the delicious cuisine and comfy cabins at Triple Creek, why not escape to the woods for a cozy weekend of puzzling with riding and hiking breaks!
