The Durango Wine Experience in downtown Durango features a Friday night Walkabout at multiple locations, a Saturday afternoon Grand Tasting at the Smiley Building lawn, as well as educational seminars, wine dinners, and unique tastings. There will be hundreds of wineries and regional artisan spirits and craft beers represented. Proceeds from ticket sales and corporate sponsorships will provide the Community Foundation with funding to bolster their mission-driven work supporting the nonprofit sector in Southwest Colorado. Nonprofits across multiple sectors and geographic areas have been selected to receive a $2,500 grant, will engage with Durango Wine Experience attendees by volunteering at the Walkabout on Friday, April 26 and at the DWE Grand Tasting on Saturday, April 27.
Weekend passes are available here, and single event tickets go on sale April 1.
