Park City is about to find out if it belongs in the Michelin Guide. On August 26, the Michelin Guide Southwest debuts in Las Vegas, marking the first time inspectors have rated restaurants in Utah's Wasatch Back. Most of the town is waiting to see who made the cut. Tuhaye already knows its own kitchen did, because Courchevel Bistro, the Talisker Club's restaurant on Main Street, is spending this very weekend hosting chefs from around the world as one of 30 restaurants selected for the inaugural Chef's Table Festival.
That timing is not a coincidence a resident needs explained twice. It is the story of what club membership has actually been buying this year, and it says something about Tuhaye that a spec sheet never will: the amenities here are not static. They are being renovated, expanded, and in one case, handed a seat at the biggest culinary event Park City has ever hosted, all inside the same six weeks.
Your restaurant made the guest list
Chef's Table Festival runs August 13 through 16, built around the Netflix series of the same name and presented by American Express and Resy. More than 70 visiting chefs are taking over restaurants across town for roughly 100 events, from ticketed dinners to demonstrations and excursions. Le Depot on Main Street is serving as the festival hub, but Courchevel Bistro, tucked into the historic Coal and Lumber Building where Main Street meets Heber Avenue, is hosting its own run of lunches and dinners featuring chefs including Jenner Tomaska and Andreas Caminada.
Festival access itself is not cheap. Signature packages start at $2,000 for two lunches, two dinners, and one guaranteed chef selection. Premier packages run $4,000, Elite packages $7,500, with a $15,000 tier available through the festival's concierge program for guests who want to cook alongside a chef directly. Those numbers matter less as a price tag and more as a scale check. This is not a food truck rally. It is a four-day event that organizers built to rival Sundance as a recurring cultural anchor for the town, and Courchevel is one of only 30 restaurants chosen to help carry it.
"Park City is the right canvas for the same reasons it worked for film."
That is how the festival's creator, David Gelb, described the choice of location. For a Tuhaye owner, the more relevant fact is that the restaurant tied to your own membership is in the room this weekend, and will likely be in the conversation again on August 26 when Michelin makes its call.
The back nine had its own headline
While Main Street fills with visiting chefs this weekend, the golf course at Tuhaye already had its own headline moment earlier this summer. The 2026 Twin Feathers Men's Member-Guest wrapped with Blake Moore and George Moore taking the title after several days of competition on the Mark O'Meara-designed course. It is a smaller story than a Netflix-branded food festival, but it is the kind of detail that only shows up if you are actually watching the club calendar rather than reading a real estate description of it. Twin Feathers is not an open event. It is members and their guests, playing the course O'Meara liked well enough to move onto himself after designing it in 2002.
The golf season at Tuhaye has always been the anchor amenity, the reason the community exists in its current form. What is worth noticing this year is how much is happening around it at the same time, on a calendar that used to be quieter between ski season and fall.
What's rising out of the ground right now
Talisker Club is in an active build cycle, and residents driving through Tuhaye this fall will see more than finished homes. A few projects worth tracking:
- A family outdoor-adventure amenity arriving this summer, with rock-climbing walls, a fishing pond with beach entry, paddleboarding, and canoeing, layered onto Tuhaye's existing mountain bike trail network and winter tubing slope.
- An on-mountain gathering spot arriving this winter, positioned between Red Cloud and Montage as a stop for warming up or grabbing a snack mid-ski-day.
- The HooDoo Cabin, a lodge overlooking Jordanelle Reservoir that has been under construction, with plans for gathering spaces, outdoor decks, and firepits.
- Base Camp, the 18,000-square-foot lodge that already anchors family life at Tuhaye with casual dining, bowling, arcade games, and a STEAM-based activity room, continuing to serve as the daily hub while the newer amenities come online around it.
None of this is theoretical marketing language about a future phase five years out. These are amenities with seasons attached, summer 2026 and winter 2026, meaning residents will watch them open in real time rather than read about them in a brochure.
Eleven miles that don't require a tee time
Not everything at Tuhaye runs through the clubhouse. The community's mountain bike trail system, including North Star, West Oak, HooDoo, and Kings Light, adds up to roughly 11 miles of singletrack open to the public, sitting at an average elevation near 6,800 feet with a riding season that typically runs late May through November. The HooDoo Trail climbs from the Jordanelle Perimeter Trail near the Rock Cliff trailhead on the reservoir's southeast corner, while the trailhead near Moondance Park gives quicker access to the Kings Light Loop and the community's flow trails.
For a Tuhaye resident, that trail network is less a selling point than a fact of the calendar, the kind of thing you check before deciding whether to bike or golf on a Tuesday in September.
What August actually shows
Put the pieces next to each other and a pattern emerges that a single amenity list would miss. In the same stretch of weeks, Tuhaye's Main Street restaurant is hosting chefs from a Netflix-branded international festival, its golf course crowned a member champion in a tournament that only members can enter, and three separate construction projects are moving forward on a defined seasonal schedule. That is not a community coasting on a golf course built in 2002. It is one actively adding cultural and recreational weight in real time, in a year when the surrounding town is being formally recognized by Michelin for the first time.
For someone who already lives inside the Talisker Club system, that is the useful piece of information: your membership is not a fixed set of perks frozen at the point of purchase. It is attached to a club that keeps finding its way into the bigger conversation happening in Park City, whether that conversation is about golf, food, or a cabin going up on the shore of Jordanelle Reservoir.
If any of this has you thinking about what comes next for your own place in Tuhaye, whether that is a move within the community or simply understanding what your property is worth against a season this active, Tricia Cohen is worth a conversation. Schedule a private consultation and talk through what club life at this pace means for your plans.
