This spring, from April 3rd to 5th, Park City, Utah, will host the inaugural Spring Edition of the Park City Wine Festival. Featuring over 80 wineries, the festival offers grand tastings, expertly paired dinners and lunches at top local restaurants, and engaging seminars led by industry experts. Attendees can immerse themselves in the world of wine while enjoying the scenic mountain backdrop and live music.

Complementing this celebration of flavors, Gallery MAR here on Main Street, continues our tradition of showcasing fresh and lively artistic visions.

Inspired by Park City’s Spring Wine Fest, we’ve paired the fine artworks from Gallery MAR with various wine selections, creating a harmonious blend of visual and sensory experiences that can occur when fine art meets fine wine.

CHARDONNAY

Stefan Heyer

Like a well-balanced Chardonnay, Stefan Heyer’s mixed media artwork at Gallery MAR embodies both richness and vibrancy. The creamy, buttery hues in his pieces mirror the smooth, full-bodied texture of a classic Chardonnay, while the bursts of color add an unexpected zest—much like the citrus and tropical fruit notes that elevate the wine’s complexity. Heyer’s golden undertones evoke the sunlit warmth of an oaked Chardonnay, inviting viewers into a world that feels both luminous and layered. Just as a fine Chardonnay lingers on the palate, his work leaves a lasting impression, making this pairing a celebration of depth, contrast, and golden harmony.

MALBEC

Matt Flint

Matt Flint’s mixed media wildlife portraits at Gallery MAR find a perfect match in the bold, inky depths of a Malbec.

His expressive brushwork and textured surfaces mirror Malbec’s complexity—both striking yet inviting. The wine’s velvety depth resonates with the moody, shadowed tones in Flint’s pieces, while hints of bright acidity reflect the movement and vitality in his depictions of nature. Together, Malbec and Flint’s art create a pairing that is both intense and elegant, capturing the beauty of the wild with every sip and brushstroke.

Both the wine and her art offer complexity and warmth, inviting viewers and sippers alike to lose themselves in their bold, yet refined beauty. Together, they create a pairing as evocative as a winter mountain retreat.
