Z Group Architecture & Interior Design is honored to serve as a Bronze Sponsor of the Snowmass Wine Festival, an annual event that combines fine wine, food, and mountain culture in Snowmass Village. Hosted by the Rotary Club of Snowmass Village, the festival raises funds for nonprofits and youth programs across the Roaring Fork Valley.



For Z Group, this sponsorship is part of a broader commitment to community engagement in Aspen and Snowmass. Our work is rooted not only in site-sensitive architecture but also in supporting the culture and civic organizations that shape life in the mountains.

Building Community Through Sponsorship

As the longest-standing architecture firm in Aspen, Z Group has always believed that design is about more than buildings — it’s about people, culture, and legacy. Sponsoring the Snowmass Wine Festival is a way to celebrate community, support nonprofit organizations, and connect with the vibrant lifestyle of Aspen and Snowmass.


Our team members have been involved with Rotary and other local non-profits for decades. Their dedication to service reflects the same values that drive Z Group’s approach to design: collaboration, stewardship, and legacy.

The Role of the Rotary Club of Snowmass Village


The Rotary Club of Snowmass Village organizes the Snowmass Wine Festival each September. Proceeds go directly to programs that strengthen the Roaring Fork Valley — from scholarships for students to funding for local nonprofits and environmental initiatives.

By aligning with Rotary, Z Group supports a mission that echoes our own: building a stronger community today while investing in the future.



A Festival That Reflects Mountain Culture


The Snowmass Wine Festival brings together residents, visitors, and businesses for a weekend of tastings, food pairings, and mountain views. It has become a signature event in Snowmass Village that reflects the sophistication, lifestyle, and community spirit of the Roaring Fork Valley.


As an Aspen architecture firm rooted in the region since 1952, Z Group is proud to be part of events that celebrate the character of the valley.
