Tell me about it

We call it the “Colorado” wine festival because you’ll find wine made in the state of Colorado! We celebrate local wineries and vendors with a great day in the park, complete with 3 live music artists and a bevy of food trucks and tasty treats to pair with your wine samples. Be sure to grab your ticket to sample all the delicious Colorado wines and meads that will be offered!

VIP entry @ 11:00 a.m. | General Admission entry @ 12:30 p.m. | Last entry @ 4:00 p.m.

We encourage everyone to check out the City of Manitou Springs parking page for information on public parking lots, street parking, ADA-accessible spaces, and how to pay for parking throughout town.

If you do not want to deal with parking, use a Rideshare service or our FREE #33 shuttle bus!

We know they wanna ride the shuttle…but please leave your four-legged family members at home. No pets are invited to enjoy the festival, but they’ll certainly be happy to see you when you get home!  This event is also 21+, so please make sure to plan ahead for your babysitter!

We love our kids AND our wine, but our kids don’t love wine, so please call your parents, your sister, or your babysitter to watch the kiddos while you enjoy the festival. The festival is 21+ unless you have a DD ticket.

We sure do! Use code “WINEHEARTSYOU” at checkout on Eventeny for $10.00 off General Admission tickets ONLY (2 max per person).

While we encourage you to use a ride share or have a designated driver friend, there are only limited designated driver tickets available. We suggest that they enjoy downtown Manitou Springs during festival hours! The festival is 21+ unless you have a DD ticket.

We hear you. If you feel like packing some sammies, snacks and a non-alcoholic beverage to munch on during the event, go for it! We’ll be digging through your stuff at the entry gate though, just to make sure you don’t try to pack in more wine (we will have plenty) or a beer for your friend (this is a wine fest, after all). Sorry, but no wagons/carts are allowed into the event.

The Route 33 inbound (from the COG back to Old Man’s Trail, aka the street beside Memorial Park) will use the following detour all day: Heading east on Manitou Ave it would continue to and take a left at Mayfair Ave, take a left on El Paso Blvd and a left on Old Man’s Trail. The outbound will not have to detour!

Bags and backpacks may be checked by security guards.

One of the best festivals I’ve ever been too! Minimal long lines, spacious, amazing vendors. One of the most organized festivals I’ve attended.

I thought it was great! I grew up in a major wine making region and have attended many wine festivals around the country and I had a great time.

This Colorado Wine Festival is run so well that it inspired me to start my own wine related Festival! Between the diverse art, craft, and food vendors, along with all of the friendly wineries pouring their libations, it is a date that will always be on my calendar to walk around, meet new people, try new tastes, buy wines endemic to our state, and hear sweet tunes. Thanks for keeping this going all these years!
