Park City Wine Club Annual Wine Exchange Returns Jan. 8

The Park City Wine Club will host its long-running Wine Exchange on Thursday, Jan. 8, bringing a familiar post-holiday gathering back to Jeremy Ranch Golf and Country Club. Now in its 14th year, the event has become a community tradition that blends socializing, dining and lighthearted competition in the weeks after the holidays.

The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. at 8770 Jeremy Rd. Attendees will be served a sparkling starter and a selection of three wines paired with a warm, simple dinner. The main attraction is the club’s signature Wine Exchange, a white elephant-style swap in which participants bring a completely wrapped and/or decorated bottle of wine priced between $15 and $30. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed bottle.

Ticketing details in event materials include two figures for the primary admission price: a notice that the cost for participants is $80, and a separate itemized listing that shows $85 for wine drinkers. A $65 ticket is available for designated drivers or Dry January participants; that option includes three non-alcohol wines, described as real wines with the alcohol removed. The participant price is stated to include wines, dinner, tax and gratuity. Space is limited and reservations are required; the club directs interested attendees to parkcitywineclub.com to reserve a spot.

For Summit County residents, the event serves several local functions. It provides a social outlet for adults seeking a relaxed, post-holiday activity and supports local hospitality at the Jeremy Ranch venue. Offering a designated-driver ticket with non-alcohol wines creates a lower-barrier option for those choosing not to drink, and signals an accommodation to sober and safety-conscious community members. The wrapped-bottle exchange and prize incentives sustain the event’s appeal and help maintain participation in a long-standing local tradition.

Organizers emphasize that the Wine Exchange is for ages 21 and older. Residents planning to attend should confirm ticket pricing and availability online and secure reservations promptly due to limited seating.
