Really nice tasting room for small winery. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Good selection of wines and ability to choose a pre-determined flight or a combination of any of their wines on the menu into a custom flight. Charcuterie board was unique and satisfying. Highly recommend stopping by and sitting facing out into the alley to people watch. read more

Blanchard Family Wines was listed for this year's Westword article, "The top 50 Bars in Denver Right Now". Dec. 2025 edition. We had to give it a try based on this accolade. Blanchard Family Wines is located in the Dairy Block off of Wazee near Union Station. We went in around the holidays in December and were met with prompt service and very kind servers. The place is set up for groups, parties, or can be just for one or two. They do have a good selection of wines, both whites and reds based off what I saw from their menu. They also had a wine cocktail that was very tasty, though this was seasonal. Looking to try out some new wines, Blanchard's is your place. read more

This place is one of the few wine tasting spots around Denver. They do a good job of bringing the elevated wine tasting experience that you normally receive at an actual vineyard. The servers were knowledgeable about the wine and the pairings with the cake pop were surprisingly good. They always do really fun events as well. I also looked into renting the space out for private events, and for being in Dairy block, the price is pretty respectable. If I'm ever in the Dairy block, showing people around Denver, I will always take them here for a little glass of wine and be environment always is just really nice to welcome people into Denver with. read more

Blanchard Family Wines made Westword's Top 50 Bars for 2025 (one of the seven listed in the Beer & Wine Destinations). Blanchard Family Wines is a cozy winery located in the alley of Denver's Dairy Block. Friendly staff provide you with suggestions from their wine offerings. They use grapes from both California and Colorado. I suggest going with a flight to sample the wines, but they also offer seasonal wine cocktails. I tried the custom wine flight for $24. I prefer dryer, less-sweet white wines, so I sampled the Tectonic, Gewürztraminer, Rosé of Grenache, and Domaine Rosé. Blanchard Family Wine is a wonderful chill place to hang out, enjoy a tasting, and chat with a friend. read more

Located on the dairy block, close to restaurants, bars and entertainment. There is a parking garage and about a 5 minute walk from union station. There was a good variety of wine available by the glass, flight or bottle. Service was good and my server was knowledgeable about the wines and pairing. I thought the pours could have been a tad bigger for the price but good overall. There is indoor and outdoor seating available, charging ports at the bar. read more

Blanchard Family Wines - White wine flight! - Wineries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I came here with a girlfriend for a Groupon deal I found - VIP flights for two and it included a charcuterie board. For my flight of four, I got the Sauvignon blanc, Gewurztraminer, Syrah and Blake Street blend. The favorite was definitely the red blend - all of the wines I tried were from California while my friend focused on trying Colorado based wines. She got a Chardonnay that we agree didn't really taste like much of anything. For the board, the salamis were very tasty. Some of the items on the board weren't that great ie, the almonds were stale and very chewy. However, the overall presentation and taste of the board was great! read more

I'm so glad I stopped at Blanchard Family Wines before my flight. This was my first experience trying wine that's made in Colorado! I'm very pleased and all the wines I tried (which were many) were delicious. Aside from some stellar glass pours, I indulged in the wine and chocolate pairing which coupled 4 wines with 4 complementary chocolates. This was definitely the highlight of my time here. Each pairing was thoughtfully created and tasty. The service was amazing - I got frequent explanations of the pairings and other information when sitting at the bar, of which I'm grateful (this being my first time in Colorado). Needless to say, the outdoor seating is very pretty and it allows you to see this gorgeous, well-maintained, alleyway. The interior is also stunning and looks very new! I wish I could say I'd come back here more often but...living over a thousand miles away makes that rather difficult. If I ever find myself in the Denver area again however, I'll likely find my way back here for another awesome experience! read more

Loved this place! Located in the Milk Market ally, so lots of people watching if you sit outside. We had a wine flight of Colorado wines and loved them all. Our server was super sweet and we really liked the variety. We then chose our favorite from the flight and got 2 glasses. Reasonable prices and next time we will definitely try the charcuterie! read more

We had a great experience here on a Saturday afternoon. Not too crowded (winter) and were able to find street parking. We enjoyed red wine flights and purchased their CA Zinfandel and a CO Cab franc by Plum Creek. The owner was very sweet and chatted with us providing lots of info on their wine and the CO wine industry. Charcuterie board has a large variety of items which we enjoyed and was a good lunch for 2. The Dairy Block is a really cute area too read more

What a great visit! My mom have been long time Blanchard Family wine fans and original wine club members. When we knew we were going to be visiting Denver we knew we had to stop in and check-in. We were not disappointed. The service was impeccable. Being from California we were partial to their Malbec but the Colorado wine was nice too. The charcuterie board was so good I didn't even take a picture, lol! Highly recommend if you are anywhere near the ball park or Union Station stop in and enjoy a flight!! read more

A chill area that has an indoor and outdoor seating. If you're lucky, you might be able to witness a wedding (we were only there long enough to see the rehearsal). Ordered the Chill Switch (red wine) (recommended) and a large charcuterie board. Chill Switch is actually a pretty tasty wine that's refrigerated. Thought it was going to be like grape juice from the fridge, but it's not. It's not as dry as a cab, but dry enough with a hint of sweetness. Ordered a large charcuterie which contains a good array of meat, cheese, and snacks. Would definitely come back if we're ever in the area. Mind you, a bottle of wine and a large charcuterie was for two people. Can easily be enough for three to four people who are there to enjoy a 'snack.' read more

While exploring downtown Denver, my boyfriend and I stumbled upon the cutest wine tasting room tucked inside the Dairy Block--Blanchard Family Wines--and we're so glad we stepped in. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a kind and welcoming woman (Shanna) who made us feel right at home. She walked us through a wine tasting, answered all our questions, and let us relax on a comfy couch inside. The vibe was cozy and casual--we played a card game, sipped some delicious wines, and just enjoyed the atmosphere. Whether you're a wine lover or just looking for a chill spot to unwind, this place is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back the next time we're in Denver! read more

Great cozy winery in the heart of downtown. Came here to use a Groupon for a vip wine tasting and it didn't disappoint. We had a great time learning so many tips and tricks about the variety of wines from Joe. He knows his stuff! Kylie was a friendly face behind the bar as well. Totally recommend this place and their wines are all very tasteful. Hope to be back soon! read more

I did the wine flight and really enjoyed it. It was such a cute little spot when I was visiting Denver and just needed a spot to relax. It was relatively quiet at the time I went so plenty of seating. I could easily see it being a good spot to meet up with some friends and enjoy a glass of wine. They were really friendly and made some helpful suggestions on which wines to get based on my preferences. read more

We sat outside at an arm rail type setting that was wider than normal and had seating. This was an indoor/outdoor area in the milk market area (I believe), in a really cool alley way. Our server was very friendly, very talkative and knowledgeable about all of their wines. She was a great server. The wine was very interesting, not my favorite wines that I've ever had but it was a great experience. read more

Stumbled upon this winery located in downtown Denver near the baseball stadium and was drawn in by the cute outside signs, patio area, and inside welcoming atmosphere. The hostess was very kind and allowed us to sit wherever we chose and immediately helped us. She answered questions about various wines and recommended local Colorado wine that we would enjoy. Her recommendations did not disappoint: the wine flight was delicious and allowed me to try local wine! We stayed at the winery for a while and were served by three different servers. They were all very kind and ensured that we had proper hydration, were satisfied, and even casually chatted with us. We tried the charcuterie board and it was absolutely delicious. If you travel to Denver, try this hidden gem! I will definitely return again. read more

I was awaiting this owner's response because after I visited here, had a bad experience, and looked up the Yelp - he comes across unhinged and combative. I wrote my original review months after I was there - I was there in November. Go scroll through all your tapes because based on your responses to to reviews on here, I know that's what you do. The other two women at the bar were not on their phones or laptops and what an insane thing to say that people that go to wineries don't want to be bothered? Bro, what?? The woman who was serving me was young and there was absolutely no chance she was anybody's grandmother. I specifically asked her about the wines and she literally said to me "I do not know anything about them." If you read my original review you would see that I already said that. I love wine. I love wineries. I love supporting local wineries and all that jazz. I had a negative experience at this one and I thought I was being constructive and providing you feedback. I will absolutely not ever come back here. read more

If I decide to retire from my office job and do something completely different then this place will be the first in line for me to apply at! A group of friends got together tonight at this place for a wine and chocolate pairing event and had a wonderful night of two hours by sipping four different wines from Sauvignon Blanc to Rose to Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon and four different types of chocolates! I felt like I was in heaven!! The guy who guided us through the pairing event is/was a true wine expert. When he introduced himself to us he said he's been in the wine industry since he was 12 yrs old. What?? No wonder he is a wealth of knowledge! I've been an avid wine drinker for almost 20 years but my knowledge about wine (compared to his) is absolutely nothing. What's great about this place is that you'll get to enjoy quality wines in the center of downtown Denver; there is no need for you to travel all the way to some wine countries like Palisades or Napa Valley etc. On top of that, although this place doesn't really serve real food (only cheeses and meats), if you are hungry you can order from the Denver Milk Market right across from it so there is that symbiotic relationship that is common nowadays in many places throughout the metropolitan areas in any U.S. cities. This place is one of the best the city of Denver has to offer. read more

Exploring the Dairy Block, we decided to take a break and hangout with a glass of wine and snacks. We were greeted by an enthusiastic server who said to sit anywhere. We chose a picnic table out front and she quickly brought water and menus. The atmosphere was chill and relaxed. We ordered the Blanchard Chardonnay with popcorn and olives. Delicious all around. Then when we were ready to leave the server came back and answered all of our questions about the area and gave us suggestions on new areas to visit as our friends are considering moving nearby. She was so helpful and enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We were so happy to have chatted with her. When we're wrapping up we asked what her name was and she answered, Shannon Blanchard! It was a pleasure! When our friends move to Denver permanently, we will be back to Blanchard's for sure! Your wines were delicious and the service was top tier! read more

I think what I love most about this winery is how they have embraced local Colorado products to make wine, while at the same time bringing their vast catalog of wines from their California roots. It's a beautiful blend, highlighting the fact that good wine is good wine, no matter where it comes from. I got to experience this blend in a wonderful flight: * Rosé of Grenache~Russian River Valley, CA A lovely chardonnay made in CO. Petite Pearl~Grand Valley, CO Zinfandel~Dry Creek Valley, CA * Located in the @dairyblock , they have a great patio as well as a cozy tasting room. And the staff knows their wine, which makes the experience that much better. read more

My friend & I went to check out Blanchard Family Wines during a trip in Denver. It's located in the Dairy Block section in the city, pretty easy to find, the restaurant is a good size not too big, not too small. We sat at the bar and were helped by Nick & Jana who were amazing, personable & super helpful when trying to decide what to try on the menu. Nick gave us some good suggestions on portion size depending on how hungry we were and recommended the Kettle Head truffle pop which was 10/10! The lighting in the restaurant was awesome too, Jana by far was the best photographer during our entire trip to Denver that week. The cotton candy & wine flight pairing is genius. The watermelon cotton candy pairing was our favorite and the macarons were 10/10 as well. We would definitely return! read more

It's patio season! We headed to Blanchard Family Wines' patio in Dairy Block for some wine tasting this past weekend & had a lovely time. We arrived at Blanchard and were seated at a table outside. The weather was gorgeous and we got to enjoy the spring flowers & Dairy Block's lively alleyway. Founders, James & Shanna took great care of us & ensured our wine flights kept coming. James was incredibly knowledgeable on the wine and educated us on each kind we had. Our server Cassidy was attentive and made sure our waters stayed topped off. Our wine flight included the Blanc de Noir, Riesling, CO Red Blend, & the Cabernet Sauvignon. The Blanc de Noir was Blanchard Family Wines from Sonoma County. This was a traditional method sparkling constructed from Pinot Noir. The Blanc de Noir was lively on the tongue with flavors of in-season, zesty citrus. The Riesling was Blanchard Family Wines from Colorado. I am not a big Riesling fan and enjoyed this one - it wasn't too sweet. The Riesling was medium-dry with a balanced acidity. The CO Red Blend was Blanchard Family Wines from Grand Valley. This red blend had alluring aromas of raspberry. This was my second favorite wine of the flight and is a new addition to Blanchard's menu (make sure to try it out). The Cabernet Sauvignon was Blanchard Family Wines from Alexander Valley - this was my favorite. The Cab Sauv had a beautiful purplish red garnet in the glass. The taste was big and bold with a smooth finish. Ross enjoyed non-alcoholic tea that was really refreshing. For food we had Charcuterie, a Macaron flight, & Cake Pop flight. The Charcuterie was a chef's board with daily selections of local meats, cheeses, crackers, and accoutrements. The Macarons were seasonal & custom created by Bella Macarons. My favorite was the Lucky Charms macaron. This green macaron was sweet with a cereal inspired filling and went well with the sparkling Blanc de Noir. The Cake Pops were from Azucar Bakery and were an assortment of seasonal flavors. My favorite was the red velvet cake pop. It was dipped in white chocolate and tasted like a combination of chocolate and vanilla cake (cocoa with a slightly tart edge). This cake pop paired exceptionally well with the Cabernet Sauvignon - rich & decadent. Now that's how to do a Sunday funday! read more

Excellent diary block spot for drinks and snacks. Blanchard Family Wines has wide variety of wines and offers tastings or bottles. We loved that you can make your own flight or order a premade one. The pride flight was especially fun with the cotton candy and the macaroon! We sat in the patio where dogs are allowed and there was plenty of shade. The wait staff was prompt and helpful with explaining varieties. The charcuterie board was plentiful and they also had some other small plates to choose from. If you want a full meal, they have partnered with Foraged where you can order from. Whether you want wine and dessert or a more filling meal, we really enjoyed it. read more

***Updated to correct the technicalities mentioned in the owner's response*** What an adorable little tasting room!!! I officially had my first taste of Colorado wines here, and I can honestly say that I'm a fan. I've been to Blanchard's tasting room in Healdsburg and absolutely loved the wines and my experience there. When I found out that they had a sister tasting room in Denver, I knew that I had to pay them a visit during my trip. Best decision that I made! I stopped by here on a Wednesday evening and had an amazing time. Blanchard's tasting room is located in the festive Dairy Block in Denver. They have a cute and spacious outdoor patio that glows a pretty purple at night. Since it was chilly out, I decided to do my tasting inside. Honestly, I was kind of scared at first. I haven't been inside of a wine bar in months, and California is just now slowly starting to reopen for indoor dining. But after seeing how large, spacious, and clean the interior was, I was immediately put at ease. I sat at the bar top which I had to myself for most of the evening, and Alli and Shanna took really great care of me! The tasting room in Denver is much more casual compared to the one in Healdsburg. I love that they have TV's and other options like hard ciders for those who may not be feeling so wine-y. But of course, I came for the wine! I decided to make my own flight and chose two whites and two reds to taste (most were recommendations from Alli and Shanna): Gewürztraminer, Dry Riesling, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc. The Colorado wines are actually produced from Blanchard's partner wineries that are based in Colorado, but the Syrah is produced by Blanchard themselves. My general consensus of the Colorado wines were that they were good. I generally have to be in a mood for Riesling and I'm not much of a fan of dry wines, but I wanted to try out the crowd favorite. The Dry Riesling is one of the most popular wines here. Honestly, I wasn't much of a fan of this. However, I did enjoy the Gewürztraminer and I absolutely LOVED their Syrah! Damn, that Syrah was amazing. It was bold with a little spice and a wonderful smooth finish. I ended up getting a glass of this after my wine flight. Alli was also gracious enough to pour me a splash of the Colorado Chardonnay, and this was a real winner too. It was light, refreshing, and crisp with just a tad bit of oak that I actually found to be enjoyable (not really a fan of oak usually). It was super tasty! Since the tasting room is located in the Dairy Block, you can scan the menus from the restaurants nearby and they'll deliver your food right to your table in the tasting room! Like whaaaat? Such an amazing concept! Would love to see more of this in California. Ended up with a delicious deli sandwich from S&G Salumeria that paired perfectly with my yummy Syrah! A taste of any wine is $5, but let me tell you; these "tastes" are not your average wine pours. They are heavier and of course, I'm ALL for it! Even the glasses of wine are generous here. They also do a wine and chocolate pairing here. Didn't get a chance to do it this time around, but would love to take advantage of this the next time that I'm in town. The hours are great here! They're open pretty late. And the SERVICE is just top notch! Alli is such a doll! Had an amazing time chatting with her about the wines and her travels. Also had a lovely time chatting with Shanna who I learned was a fellow foodie (and you know how much I LOVE food... mm hmm!). They were running a 20% off purchase deal with Yelp check-in and they gladly honored this. I know that times are tough during COVID and they could have easily denied the check-in offer, but I appreciated that they did. Even without this, I still had an amazing time, but it's always nice to enjoy the little perks of Yelp. Honestly, this was the most fun that I had while visiting Denver! Love the atmosphere, wine, and incredible service here and I'm glad that I stopped by. Would highly recommend them for a wonderful time and I'm excited to return again on a future trip back to Denver! read more

Blanchard Family Winery is a well-known winery located in the Dairy Block of Denver. The winery is known for its exceptional wines and has become a popular destination for wine enthusiasts. Recently, I had the opportunity to visit the winery and was excited to do some tasting. Upon arrival, my group and I were greeted by the host who welcomed us and showed us to our table. The ambiance of the winery was warm and inviting, and we were eager to start our tasting experience. However, after sitting for 10 minutes, we realized that we had not been taken care of by any of the staff members. Despite our attempts to flag down a server, we were ignored and left waiting. This lack of attention and service was disappointing, especially considering the reputation of the winery. After waiting for an extended period, we decided to get up and leave. Overall, my experience at Blanchard Family Winery was disappointing. While the winery is known for its exceptional wines, the lack of service and attention to customers was a letdown. As a customer, I expected to be taken care of and have a positive experience, but unfortunately, this was not the case. I hope that the winery takes steps to improve its customer service in the future, as it has the potential to be a top destination for wine enthusiasts. Update: yes owner contacted me and I provided detail of my visit with 2 other friends. We waiting as a friend used the restroom on 3/18 at about 3:30pm and left at just before 3:45 when I took this photo. I have time stamps in my photo documentary of my visit. read more

This is my 1,000th review. wow, I can't believe it only took me a month and some days to finally write up all my places that we visited in the Denver area. We found this winery in the heart of Denver. You walk down one of the coolest alleys to get here. What was so unique was a wedding was getting ready to start. Everyone was seated in their chairs. It was a smaller wedding, maybe 25-30 people at most. But something really nice. We arrived at the winery. It was spacious. Really enjoyed the vibe. Many places to seat. We just had drinks. I had a glass of wine. All of the grapes either originate from California or in Denver area. We did t stay long but enjoyed the wine and a desert that my wife and daughter love called macaroons that were superb. This is a good winery to visit. read more

Came here on a snowy Saturday night a couple of weeks ago for the first time. We were visiting the area and this street and wine shop is so cute! We were so surprised to see it not that busy but were happy we had most of the place to ourselves. We got a popcorn wine pairing flight which was really good. They let us pick the wines we want and are very knowledgeable. The cocoa puff popcorn was the best. We also got a meat and cheese plate, the smaller one and that was plenty. Really good meat and cheese selection with plenty of crackers, olives and nuts. It was cool too that is we wanted we can order from the dairy market with all the food vendors down the block and that they would come over and serve us. I def want to come back to Denver just to come back here! read more

Think I threw the poor lady at the door off with my videography for my TikTok however, we push forward as this is my 40th birthday wine tasting and nothing was messing this up. Once the hubs figured out which seat was the "spot" we got comfortable and listened to the kind of confusing instructions. After the poor waitress clarified a couple more times our flight of wine was ordered and off we flew into wine tasting world. Paired with a delicious charcuterie board and some final desserts we were very happy and truly enjoyed the people watching. The benefit of people watching...a wedding unfolding before us. WINNING!

Cute location in dairy block. Easy to get a table on Saturday afternoon. Service was not the best. No explanation on what was in the bubbly wine flight. Also no explanation on the charcuterie board. I think our server left and there was no communication regarding who would take over the table so no one checked in one us. Also watched waitress spill red wine on another customer. She cleaned the tables but left the rag on the ground. read more

Unfortunately I had to change my five star review to a one star review and honestly wish I could give this location zero stars. One day I came in with my mother from out of town and it was rather windy outside. I had my dog with me so I wanted to peek inside to see what the dog arrangements were or where they were dog friendly... Upon walking inside I saw a dog sitting at the bar with its owner and decided to continue in the building. That's when I was stopped by a staff member and told that my dog was not allowed inside and that the other dog could stay inside because it was smaller. I'm not sure why a smaller dog would be able to stay inside but not a puppy who is also a small... they are both DOGS. Health department would doc you the same amount of points for having a large OR small dog inside when you SERVE FOOD. Unfortunately, the story gets worse, we went outside and waited for service for over 20 minutes before one of the brothers came out to serve us. The wine was not hitting the spot and we were not checked on even once. I went inside to ask for the bill and told the brother that we were unhappy only to be argued with and yelled at by him in front of his other patrons The person I was with also wrote a review and was told by James that our dog was jumping and barking which was not the case in the slightest and quite hilarious, as it was the dog sitting at their bar steady that was barking. This is unacceptable and unbelievable. It is also unfortunate that the owner has responded to my review by stating that I am using my Elite status to "shame" him. I have posted numerous reviews on Yelp over the years and love that Yelp is a platform for the community to share their open and honest experience at different establishments. I have always post honest reviews and will continue to do so, I will not be threatened by owners to do otherwise. read more

A friend and I decided to have dinner in the alley at the Dairy Block and order from the Milk Market. However, was disappointed when we found out that you can't order alcohol at those tables and have to go in and purchase that separately. While wandering around for another alternative, we found Blanchard which serves the wine and lets you order food from other places. We sat outside and they do have heaters. We ordered the Blanchard red tasters and a small charcuterie board. When our food hadn't arrived from the Milk Market after an hour, our server went in to check on it which was very much appreciated and not necessary since it wasn't through them. Since we had to wait for our food, we ended up ordering a bottle of wine since the tasters were long gone. Very good experience. read more

Wandering around downtown, looking for a place to sit outside (with a heat lamp) and have a glass of wine... I had almost forgotten about Blanchard, so very good thing it showed up in a Yelp search. Because they also serve food (another thing I had forgotten!), they are allowed to be open during COVID, for 25% capacity inside and for outside seating. There are heat lamps galore inside the alleyway, so even on a January afternoon, it's not too cold or uncomfortable. If you like bubbles, try the Sauvage Spectrum (sparklet). I enjoyed the glass I drank so much, I bought a bottle to take home. Blanchard, you are now on my go-to list for the few times I actually leave the house and spend time with friends. read more
