Each year, the Estes Park Events Complex hosts this event, and as much as I wanted to like it, it…read morefound myself quite disappointed. PRO: Location is well known, and hosts a variety of local events! CON: However, it's not close to Main street, so transportation is required. PRO: Large, open space - which allows for vendors, live music and guests to have plenty of room to maneuver to different booths! CON: The space felt a little crowded and continued to fill up throughout the event. Come early! PRO: About 25 wineries participated in the event - featuring wines from Colorado and California! CON: The sample sizes are thimble size, not allowing guests to have the best taste. PRO: The booths were organized by wine, then featuring a great chocolate pairing! CON: Booths were jam packed with people - making it hard to move! PRO: Staff is ultra friendly! CON: This event was SEVERELY understaffed, as many booths just had 2 people working - leaving us waiting in line for a good 30+ minutes to sample! PRO: A FREE shuttle is offered for events, has various pick up and drop off's around town! CON: There is only one shuttle for events, and with all the stops to make, the shuttle takes about 30-35 minutes to arrive. There are no set times, and not exactly on the half hour. PRO: Tickets can be found through Groupon, for a discounted price - which we gladly took advantage of! CON: Tickets are normally $40/person or $70/couple. After all is said and done, I'm not sure I'd return for an event like this. I left everything was disorganized, understaffed and left little to be desired. #sorry
