The Wine Fest happened on Saturday, October 10, 2026, from 1 to 6 PM at NOVEL RiNo, 1350 40th St, Denver. Two tasting sessions poured 50+ wines from nine wineries and one meadery, DJ Prodigy and Ronnie Raygun & The Big Eighties played 80s sets all afternoon, and the street festival with 34 makers, food and bottle sales was free to attend.
Who poured and who played
The Wine Fest is a tasting day: a ticket is a timed session with one-ounce pours from every winery at the festival, and the street festival of makers, food and bottle sales is free to walk.
Since 2014 the day has set up in parks, parking lots, a marketplace, a printing plant, a ski base and a closed city street. Host one where you are.

A tasting ticket is a timed session with one-ounce pours from every winery at the festival. In 2026 there were two sessions, 1 to 3 PM and 3:30 to 5:30 PM, and a double session for both; the street festival of makers, food and bottle sales was free to attend.
Yes. Bottle sales are part of the street festival. In 2026 a complimentary Wine Valet carried each bottle to a secure pickup and held it until you left, against a numbered tag and a matching photo ID.
