Urban Wineries in Denver Totally Worth Sipping

Urban wineries are popping up all over the United States, Denver is no exception. The Mile High City is now home to 10+ urban wineries in the downtown area alone, not to mention more than 150 statewide.

There are a handful of urban wineries in Denver that are pretty close together, making it easy to walk to your next stop. However, it’s easier – and more time efficient – to grab an Uber. Take a look a the map I’ve put together so you can see where each urban winery is located in Denver. To be honest, most of these wineries are more of a destination, making them worthy of a solo sipping spot. But, if you’re up for going hard, I’ve got your list.

Urban Wineries in Denver

ATTIMO Winery

ATTIMO Winery opened its doors in downtown Denver’s Ballpark neighborhood back in 2019. It’s Denver’s Italian Winery, literally. The winery sources its grapes from Italy and produces its wine onsite in Denver. The concept is pretty simple, remove the middlemen from the importing process, pass those savings on to guests, create good Italian wines and sell them at an affordable price. That said, the wine is great and the food menu is delish but know you’re not sipping Colorado wine. If you’re cool with that, it’s THE perfect sipping spot before a Rockies game.

Carboy Winery

With 30+ acres of estate vineyards in Grand Valley, Colorado, Carboy Winery is one of the largest producers in the state. Not only do they offer a tasting room in the historic Capitol Hill neighbor of Denver, but there is a tasting room in Littleton, Breckenridge and Palisade, the heart of the Colorado wine country. Its Denver urban winery is adjoined with Logan Street Restaurant, so you can sip and savor at the inside tasting room or on the patio. Make sure to try their 2022 Cabernet Franc, which received a Double Gold medal for the 2025 Governor’s Cup Collection and the 2023 Teroldego, which took home Gold. Carboy also received two silver medals for additional wines.

Balistreri Vineyards

The Balistreri family immigrated from Sicily to the United States in the early 1900s continuing the Sicilian tradition of producing wine for family and friends. Today, the family has grown their backyard vineyard into a full-scale, award winning winery and vineyard – Balistreri Vineyards.

Not only does this Denver winery provide tours and wine tastings but lunch pairings as well. As for wines, you can’t go wrong with anything you sample. The Balistreri Vineyard’s wines are regularly recognized for excellence at various international and local competitions. They received a Gold medal for their 2024 Sangiovese and 2023 Petit Verdot at this year’s 2025 Governor’s Cup Collection, along with four silver medals for additional wines.

TIP: Call ahead to make reservations for lunch and tours.

Bonacquisti Wine Company

Bonacquisti Wine Company is a family-owned, urban winery located in a funky, industrial warehouse space in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood. You’ll find their award-winning Colorado wines in the tasting room, as well as regional and international wines the company blends and bottles. (In addition to a variety of awards, their 2017 Colorado Cabernet Franc and 2019 Rosso di Colorado both received 90 point ratings from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.) If you go, check out the introductory wine classes the winemaker and certified Sommelier  Paul Bonacquisti host. Better yet, book a wine class on a Friday and stay for the live music that evening.  

Colorado Sake Company

While not wine as we know it, Colorado Sake Company is technically a winery just one focused on sake. The company was has grown from a small startup to an award-winning sake company. At its location in downtown Denver – the Rhino area – you can sip their selection of sake along with a variety of sushi for dinner or dimsum brunch. Make an evening out of your visit and hit the Denver Comedy Lounge at the back of Colorado Sake Company.

Spero Winery

Outside of the city you’ll fine Spero Winery. A family owner and operated winery that sources its grapes from Colorado’s Western slope (Palisade and Grand Junction), Pueblo and from Lodi, California, where the owners family members have a vineyard. The tasting room is only open on Saturday’s from 1-5pm, unless you call to arrange a private tasting.

Bigsby Folly

Bigsby Folly sources grapes from vineyards in Califorina and then produces wine in its urban winery located in the heart of Denver’s RiNo Art District. They offer a wide selection of bubbles, wines and specialty cocktails. For sure go for a drink the next time you’re in Denver, but try to stay for one of their signature wine and food pairings. Or, my favorite, book a custom blending wine classe. It’s so fun to be a winemaker for an afternoon!

Blanchard Family Wines

What began as a shared passion between two brothers has become Blanchard Family Wines. James and Mark Blanchard handcraft wines from select California and Colorado vineyards, employing old-world techniques and an unwavering commitment to expressing the unique character of each site. Make sure to try their 2024 Zweigelt, which took home a Double Gold 2025 Governor’s Cup Collection.

While you can visit one of their three locations – Denver, Golden, or Healdsburg, CA – for a simple wine tasting, you can also make reservations for one of their wine dinner experiences, wine seminars or get a group of friends together for a wine mixology class.

Not Exactly in Denver…

There are a few urban wineries in Boulder and one in Evergreen that I think make great wine. I’m not going to go into too much detail here other than listing them. Ok, I went into a lot about Creekside Cellars because I kinda just love them.

Bookcliff Vineyards, Boulder

The wines from Bookcliff Vineyards are outstanding. They have a tasting room and vineyard in Palisade along with a tasting room in Boulder. I personally love the Palisade location but if you want to sample some of their award-winning wines without the trip, Boulder is your spot.

Deep Roots Winery

Deep Roots Winery is a family affair located in the heart of Golden. The family team produces a variety of craft wines from grapes sourced in Colorado and California, as well as hard lemonades and ciders. Plan ahead and schedule a custom wine blending experience or attend on of theirmonthly Wine Education Nights to learn more about the history of vino, how it’s made and how to appreciate it on an even higher level.

Creekside Cellars, Evergreen

Creekside Cellars is one of my favorite Colorado wineries and the perfect spot for a weekend wine and lunch outing. Their wines are hand crafted on site at their winery in downtown Evergreen, made from 100 percent Colorado grapes. Since the winery is in Evergreen you can – and should – make your visit into more of a day trip. Start the morning off with a light hike at Three Sisters Park or around Evergreen Lake. Then head to Creekside Cellars for lunch, try to grab a table on the outdoor deck to enjoy the view and sounds of Bear Creek. (Reservations are HIGHLY recommended!) If you have kids in tow a patio table is a must. Ask the servers for some pieces of bread for the kids to feed the ducks in the creek, allowing you a little quite time for sipping wine. Make sure to sample the Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
