The story
About this festival.
Golden Wine Festival is a Colorado-wine grand tasting at Golden Bike Park in the Tony Grampsas Memorial Sports Complex in Golden, Colorado, on Saturday, October 3, 2026, and the 2026 event is the second annual. More than 20 Colorado wineries pour, with artisan and retail vendors, food trucks and live music around them. General admission is $40 and includes a commemorative wine glass, a wine tote and unlimited tastings; VIP is $100 and adds a tent with catered food and a wine bar.
Wine is also sold by the glass and by the bottle to take home. Non-drinker tickets are $10 at the gate. The festival is 21 and over with no re-entry and no pets, and it is produced by The Bowers Group, which runs a similar Hallowine Festival in Johnstown the following weekend. Golden sits at the mouth of Clear Creek Canyon 15 miles west of Denver, and the sports complex is on the north side of town off Highway 93.
