Wine events are always the highlight of our year.
With incredible tastings, food pairings, and visits from some of the world’s top sommeliers, you can’t go wrong with a Colorado wine festival.
We were lucky enough to safely host the Boulder Burgundy Festival event live last year. Our Grand tasting featured over 200 wines from Burgundy! To top it all off, Margot Pascal presented her family’s estate, the Domaine du Cellier aux Moines, at the festival’s marquee dinner.
We miss our community and this special wine event already! But the fun doesn’t have to end just yet.
There are plenty of local Colorado food and wine festivals for you to enjoy in 2022 to keep you preoccupied until our next event. To help you get the most out of your year, we’ve rounded up some of our favorites.
Cheers!
One of the nation’s premier culinary events, you simply can’t skip this annual food and wine festival in the majestic Aspen mountains.
