Looking for ways to pinch pennies—without feeling like it—this offseason? Reserve a seat at one of the valley's fine dining establishments during Vail Beaver Creek Restaurant Week, a 5-year-old tradition that offers diners a break on prices throughout one week in the fall (September 28-October 7). So, what's the deal? It depends, but the signature discount is prix fixe menus priced to $20.18 at restaurants like Matsuhisa, Sweet Basil, and La Tour (along with 31 others)—plus, food and drink specials at another 17 eateries and cafés around Vail and Beaver Creek. 

The latest and greatest of Vail Beaver Creek Restaurant Week, though? Deals at local hotels throughout the autumn months, with perks at the ultra-luxe, brand new Hotel Talisa to Vail Village's signature Sonnenalp Hotel up for grabs. diningataltitude.com
