The Durango Wine Experience

The Community Foundation is rolling out another delicious Durango Wine Experience, April 26 – 27, 2024.

We will select 10 local nonprofits to receive a $2,500 grant for volunteering at the Walkabout and the Grand Tasting. Our Durango Wine Experience guests will enjoy learning more about the nonprofit sector in SW Colorado. 

Here are nonprofit partners from 2023:

Archuleta Seniors, Inc. – BigBrothersBigSisters of Southwest Colorado – Dogster’s Spay & Neuter Program – Durango Arts Center – Durango Chamber of Commerce – Durango Creative District – Friends of Pine River Public Library – La Plata Open Space Conservancy – Manna – Southwest Colorado Canyons Alliance

Hundreds of wines featured with light appetizers at multiple downtown Durango locations. The Walkabout is our signature, multi-location, tasting event. You will not only get a taste of wine, but a true taste of downtown Durango! Libation tables will be featured at some of our favorite Durango galleries, shops & outdoor spaces, all in our cute downtown. Light appetizers provided at each location and save room to purchase dinner at one of our amazing local restaurants!
