35th Annual Colorado Mountain Winefest in Palisade, CO I Sept 19th, 2026

The Colorado Mountain Winefest is back — and this year, we’ve completely reimagined the experience to make our 35th Anniversary truly unforgettable.

Join us at the beautiful Riverbend Park in Palisade, CO for an intimate, upscale celebration of Colorado’s finest wine culture. With fewer than 2,000 guests, this single-session event is designed to feel relaxed, elevated, and personal from the first sip to the last.

Here’s what you can look forward to:

• Tastings from 30 carefully selected Colorado wineries
• Gourmet culinary bites crafted by CMU Tech Culinary students
• Shaded lounges, live entertainment & ice carving demonstrations
• Lawn games and immersive interactive activations
• VIP amenities and exclusive experiences throughout the park
• Direct access to Colorado winemakers and local producers

This year’s format is intentionally curated — smaller, more comfortable, and more memorable than ever before.

Best of all, every ticket purchased supports Colorado’s only nonprofit dedicated to winemakers and grape growers, helping sustain the state’s beloved wine industry for generations to come.

Don’t miss this milestone celebration. Tickets are limited — secure yours today before this intimate event sells out!
