“The collaboration between Grounded Wine Co. and TGR is an ideal partnership, as we share similar values about outdoor adventure and being good stewards of the land,” says Josh Phelps. Adding, “The opportunity to merge my two greatest passions—wine and snowboarding—is amazing. I’ve long admired TGR for their unwavering dedication to action sports and adventure, so to have this activation launch with such mavericks of the industry, against the jaw-dropping backdrop of the Tetons, is a true dream.”
TGR’s signature FarOutFest takes place in Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Saturday, September 14, 2024, in Teton Village at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

Festival goers will have the opportunity to sample Grounded’s sustainably grown, terroir-driven wines with an emphasis on quality and experience. Grounded in heritage, grounded in soil, grounded in simplicity, the Grounded Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon will be showcased for sampling throughout the day leading up to the screenings of Beyond the Fantasy, TGRs 29th annual ski and snowboard film. During the film’s early show and late show, Grounded wines will also be served at the hosted bar in the screening venue, Walk Festival Hall.
