Grand Tasting

The DF+WF Grand Tasting showcases metro Denver’s culinary leaders – award-winning chefs, mixologists, and wine professionals – who will share bites and sips that explore and celebrate our dynamic food-and-beverage scene.

Eat, drink, and be merry with bites from more than 50 top local restaurants and hundreds of sips from the Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits portfolio, poured by their team of professionals.

Admission begins an hour before general admission and includes access to the exclusive VIP Lounge with food from ten high-end restaurants, reserve wines, access to the brand-new wine seminar tent (more below), and early tastes of the full Grand Tasting lineup of small bites, wines, and spirits.
