In 2010, two Varaison varietals competed at the Paris Wines and Spirits Expo at the U.S. Ambassador's residence, where both received recognition in blind tastings against French and American wines. The estate hosts private events across several distinct spaces.

  Matsuhisa Vail opened in 2011 as Chef Nobu Matsuhisa's second Colorado restaurant, situated in the five-star Solaris development at the heart of Vail Village.

A seasonal outdoor patio extends the dining experience during warmer months. Chef Nobu's new-style Japanese cuisine draws from classical training in Tokyo and formative years cooking in Peru, Argentina, and beyond, arriving on the plate as something distinct — dishes like Black Cod Miso and Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeño have become signatures of that approach. For private gatherings, Matsuhisa Vail offers a dedicated large private dining room, several semi-private areas, and a seasonal mountain-view terrace, together accommodating seated groups from an intimate 14 to 75 and receptions up to 125. Full restaurant buyouts and off-site catering throughout Colorado are also available.
