Black Tomato Explores the Summer Festivities of Aspen, Colorado

    LONDON, ENGLAND, April 25, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Black Tomato is shining the spotlight on Aspen as it is unconventionally perceived: as a summer destination. Its notoriety as a world-class ski destination has perhaps overshadowed the fact that it transforms into a lush green paradise in the summer months, incorporating vibrant culture, art and festivity as well as being the perfect playground for a host of outdoor activities, making it a fantastic and all-encompassing summer holiday destination.

For foodies and wine appreciators, the FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen is a must. Now in its 31st year, the event includes appearances by celebrity chefs, cooking demonstrations and tips, wine tastings and the famed desert 'grande finale', simply too tempting to miss. With the event taking place at the foot of the spectacular Aspen Mountain, the FOOD & WINE Classic is a feast for all senses.

Aspen also has a host of great summer music festivals- perhaps the most famous is the Jazz Aspen Snowmass, which includes a June festival as well as a Labor Day festival. The festival line-up includes the likes of Ben Harper, Jason Mraz and Train, to name just a few, all in the awe-inspiring setting of the Colorado Rockies.

For the thespians, Theatre Aspen, nestled in the stunning Rio Grande Park always has a wide choice of varied performances to choose from in its repertoire, notably the ever-popular 'Les Miserables' which is on this summer.
