The Durango Wine Experience

The Community Foundation is rolling out another delicious Durango Wine Experience, April 25 – 26, 2025.

We have selected 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 our nonprofit partners for 2024:

Adaptive Sports Association — Durango Independent Film Festival — Habitat for Humanity of La Plata County — Humane Society of Pagosa Springs — La Plata Historical Society/Animas Museum — Mancos FoodShare — Music in the Mountains — San Juan Citizens Alliance — Southwest Conservation Corps — Stillwater Music

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!

Animas Chocolate Company ~ Artesanos ~ Blue Rain Gallery~ Blues, Mtn & Soul ~ Durango Arts Center ~ Durango Dream Home ~ Durango Welcome Center/Visit Durango ~ Lively ~ Pine Needle Dry Goods ~ Sorrel Sky Gallery

Under the BIG tent at the Smiley Building, we will feature hundreds of wines, beer, and spirits. Wineries will be on hand from right here in Colorado… to all over the world! Durango’s finest restaurants showcase their cuisine in our Restaurant Showcase. Look for our pairing recommendations in the BIG tent to take this culinary delight to a new level.
