Blanchard Colorado craft Walk

On July 12, downtown Denver’s Dairy Block Alley will once again turn into a lively gathering place for Colorado’s craft beverage community as the Colorado Craft Walk returns for its second year. Hosted by Blanchard Family Wines, the event brings together wineries, breweries, and distilleries from across the state for an afternoon that blends tastings, live music, and local hospitality in the heart of LoDo.

Set against the backdrop of one of Denver’s most active mixed-use districts, the Colorado Craft Walk reflects a larger shift in how mountain west travelers and residents experience regional food and drink culture. More than a traditional tasting event, the walk offers visitors a chance to connect directly with the makers behind Colorado’s wine, whiskey, beer, and spirits industries.

The 2026 Colorado Craft Walk runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., with VIP admission beginning at 11 a.m. and General Admission opening at noon. Participating brands include Blanchard Family Wines, Breckenridge Distillery, Laws Whiskey House, Westbound & Down, and additional Colorado beverage producers.

Guests will receive a commemorative tasting glass and access to unlimited samples throughout the event. Full-sized bottles and cans will also be available for purchase, while Cirque Kitchen will serve local food offerings alongside live music performances in the alley.
