Three days of tastings and alpine seminars
A three-day celebration of wine and cuisine, anchored by grand tastings and elevated seminars—perfectly paired with crisp mountain nights.
Event details
Late August brings elevated wine experiences across town, from the Grand Tasting at Main Street Station to intimate seminars with winemakers and sommeliers. The weekend typically runs Thursday through Saturday, with events ranging from $50 walk-around tastings to $200+ multi-course dinners. Expect 80+ wineries, Colorado restaurants, and a mix of indoor and outdoor venues.
The Grand Tasting on Saturday afternoon is the marquee event, running 1-5 p.m. with unlimited pours and small plates from local chefs. VIP tickets ($150-175) get you early entry at noon and access to reserve wines. August weather is prime—daytime temps in the 70s, cool evenings in the 40s, and lower thunderstorm risk than earlier summer months.
Book lodging near Main Street for easy walking between venues, or choose a spot along the Blue River Trail for morning walks before afternoon tastings. Lake.com properties with full kitchens are clutch for stocking snacks and coffee—you’ll want light meals between events. If the Grand Tasting sells out, individual seminars and smaller tastings still run all weekend.
