3. Take a Factory Tour at Ritual Chocolate or High West Distillery
There’s more to Park City than skiing and mountain biking. We’re a community full of industrious creators and innovators, too.
The Park City area is home to more than a few factories and workshops. Two of the most delicious production centers in town offer factory tours.
Ritual Chocolate
Ritual Chocolate will let you into their Heber operation to see where the magic happens. Watch beans become bars and taste the fruits of their aromatic labors afterward.
Their 7-step process combines old word and modern techniques to create some of the smoothest most flavorful chocolate you’ve ever had.

High West Distillery
If your party consists of adults over 21, you can head over and take a look inside High West Distillery.
Get up close and personal with the copper stills in the first legal whisky operation to open in the state of Utah after the end of prohibition.
The complimentary tour will take you through the whole process, from mash to cask, ending with an optional tasting flight (but let’s be honest—would you be here if you didn’t want a taste?).
4. Make it a Mindful Day
When the weather turns inclement, it’s a great time to turn inward and care for yourself. Take the time to pamper yourself while you wait for the skies to clear.
While you could just stay in bed and listen to the white noise of the droplets against your window, you might want to head for the spa, instead. Park City is home to a plethora of full-service spas offering luxurious self-care of every sort. Hot stones, wraps, massages, mud baths, and more esoteric treatments will whisk you away to a world of relaxation.
A trip to the spa isn’t the only way to practice mindfulness. Yoga is a perfect way to unwind and focus both body and mind. Park City has plenty of studios to choose from, spanning classes from vinyasa to hot yoga.
If that all sounds like too much work, practice your preferred style of meditation right in the comfort of your own home-away-from-home after a warm bubble bath. Sometimes you just need to take a day off. You’re worth it.
5. Take a Gallery Stroll (With an Umbrella)
This one cheats just a little bit. You will need an umbrella to stay dry between galleries.
Main Street is home to several dozen galleries covering every conceivable medium. It is easy to spend the entire day admiring beautiful paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other artistic treasures.
Sure, you might have to step out into the elements for a few moments as you move from gallery to gallery, but you’ll spend the bulk of your time thoughtfully considering one piece after another. You might even fall in love and end up bringing a new piece home as a souvenir.
If it happens to rain on the last Friday of the month, make sure to join the Last Friday Gallery Stroll. You’ll be able to group up with kindred spirits and gain the benefit of some extra local expertise on a guided tour of Park City’s exciting gallery scene.
