For 35 years, the Colorado Mountain Winefest has been the signature celebration of Colorado wine, community, and place. What began as a small gathering has grown into one of the state’s most anticipated wine events—bringing together winemakers, grape growers, culinary partners, artists, and wine lovers from across Colorado and beyond.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Western Colorado, Winefest is more than a tasting event. It is an opportunity to meet the people behind the bottles, experience the diversity and quality of Colorado wines, and celebrate the agricultural roots and creativity that define our industry.
The 35th Annual Colorado Mountain Winefest marks a milestone moment, and an exciting evolution of the festival.
In honor of this anniversary, Winefest has been thoughtfully re-imagined into a more elevated and immersive experience. This year’s event features a refined layout, a more intentional pace, and curated experiences designed to encourage connection, conversation, and discovery. With two distinct ticketed sessions and a reduced capacity, guests can enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere while savoring exceptional Colorado wines, thoughtfully paired cuisine, and interactive moments throughout the park.
This re-imagined format reflects how far Colorado wine has come over the past 35 years—and the bright, quality-driven future ahead.
The Colorado Mountain Winefest is proud to serve as the primary fundraiser for the Colorado Association for Viticulture & Enology (CAVE), the only statewide nonprofit dedicated exclusively to supporting Colorado wineries and grape growers.
Proceeds from Winefest directly support programs that strengthen and advance Colorado’s wine industry, including education and technical training, marketing and tourism promotion, research and viticulture support, workforce development, and statewide collaboration and advocacy. Every ticket purchased helps ensure a thriving, resilient future for Colorado wine.
The 35th anniversary Winefest is intentionally different.
By focusing on quality over quantity, this year’s celebration creates space for deeper engagement—with the wines, the winemakers, and the community that has shaped Winefest for more than three decades. It is both a celebration of legacy and a glimpse into what’s next.
Whether you are a longtime Winefest attendee or joining us for the first time, the 2026 Colorado Mountain Winefest invites you to slow down, savor the moment, and celebrate 35 years of Colorado wine—together.
Cheers to 35 years, and to the future of Colorado wine.
