    My custom wine flight
    Edie A.

    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.

    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.

    Great ambiance, wonderful wine, and a yummy board! While service varied a bit, the overall experience was fantastic. We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    What a great find, look for the dairy block. Lovely Open seating and great wine. We visited the bakery kitty corner and had a wonderful croissant w Ham that we brought along. In fact they gave us 10% off Try the popcorn ( OMG ) The rosé was a perfect compliment to our snacks.

    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

    CA and CO flight

    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!!

    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.'

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Always a fun experience! I've never been to this location but was excited to try it! I specifically…read morechose this location because of the painting they were doing :) it was Starry Night! The front parking lot is a little small so get there early! They suggest getting there 30mins before the class starts so you can check in, get a smock, pick your station, and order beverages! Everything was set up when we arrived so we picked a table that had four canvases cause there was only four of us haha The instructor was fun and energetic! She took us through the steps in stages! I didn't feel rushed! She also encouraged asking questions or coming up for a closer look at the canvas! Her counterpart was also roaming the room offer help and suggestions! Overall it was a great experience with two great instructors! The location was good too! I would go back if they had a painting I wanted to do :)

    Went on a double date and this was an amazing experience. The music set the vibes perfectly…read more Hannah, our instructor was very personable and pretty good at giving instruction. I loved that this was a small and family owned business. Additionally, the class was not super packed to where it was uncomfortable but also it wasn't super empty it was just comfortable. The pace was perfect, there were times I feel like I might've been getting a little bit behind, but she did make sure to take ample breaks, and if you had any questions she was open for feedback or answering those questions which was appreciated. I would definitely come back for another class. I loved the $5 art section and we picked up a couple canvases to take home with us. There were light snacks, beers, wines, seltzers, options for many. Definitely recommend for a solo date, date night, or girls night out!

We confirmed and paid for our class online, arrived for our 6:30pm class, we were gifted with pre-roles and gathered in the smoke room and met 12+ cool people, we painted, smoked more, were gifted more pre-roles & edibles while paintings dried, those who did not smoke sat with the others or remained at their work station. This entire experience was exactly what we wanted and they delivered. The music was perfection, Foster the People channel, one banger after the other after the other, after the other.

    Y'all!!! This was such a fun event! I had never been to an Upstairs Circus and when I was planning…read morean intern and internal alumni event this location popped up at the top of my search. And I am so glad it did. It was easy to request event info online and the event team was super responsive. Originally my event was for 20 people but we ended up having about 30 show up. But since we had the location to ourselves on a Monday, that number was fine. Kayla and Whitney were so great, they made sure everyone had everything they needed and kept the drinks flowing. I highly recommend partnering with Upstairs Circus for team building events team events friend events or just a fun time doing something creative. The diy projects vary in difficulty and mostly, it's something that you make and take with you. I made a gold tassel necklace and it wasn't easy but it's something that I'll have the rest of my life that I made at this event with this memory. Thank you Upstairs Circus for this experience!! Looking forward to doing it again.

    What a fun and unique date night experience!…read more My girlfriend and I received a gift card to Upstairs Circus and chose to celebrate Valentine's Day crafting to our heart content. This place was a dream!! Now, I'm an experienced crafter myself, while my girlfriend is not so much, but I'm happy to say both of us were able to enjoy it. The options are a wide variety including activities for all skill levels, and the instructions are very straightforward. The bar menu was also plentiful, with a variety of signature cocktails, some limited wine selections, and even some holiday-inspired shots! I also felt like the staff all took great care of us, making sure we had a memorable experience. They continued checking on us whether to help with our crafts or to fill up our glasses, were kind and attentive. This was such a special experience!
