Join us for a beautiful summer evening on the green for Sips in Full Bloom: a garden-inspired celebration filled with exceptional wines, spirits, and brews, each paired with delicious bites and seasonal ingredients. Just as a garden reaches its peak in summer, so does the art of the pour. Whether you’re enjoying a delicate hors d’oeuvre alongside a crisp sip of Sauvignon Blanc, or savoring Colorado-made bourbon mingled with the sweetness of summer peaches, there’s something for everyone to discover in this al fresco, walk-about tasting.
Come dressed in your finest garden party attire, think flowing sundresses, linen suits, floral prints, and pastels, as we take in the blossoms of flavor from fresh ingredients & exquisite wines. Let the blooms inspire your glass, your plate, and your style for an evening where every sip is in full bloom.
This event is 21+ only.
