The 5th Annual Bootstraps Western Winefest will feature Colorado wineries, demonstrations, artisan and lifestyle vendors, entertainment, and delicious food. The Winefest is similar to a farmers market with vendors displaying in an outdoor space in Evergreen, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

The 5th Annual Bootstraps Western Winefest will feature Colorado wineries from the Front Range and the Western Slope and will take place at the Evergreen Rodeo Fairgrounds. In addition to free tastings from fine Colorado wineries, the admission price includes a tasting glass, live entertainment, and demonstrations by local chefs and wine experts. Food, wine by the glass, and wine by the bottle will be available for purchase. Those purchasing bottles of wine will receive a complementary wine tote.

Come spend a day relaxing in the mountains with us - do some shopping at the retail booths, buy some wine and food, and sit at an umbrella-shaded table to enjoy the music and company of your friends.The Bootstraps Western Winefest was born in August 2010 as a way for Bootstraps to raise funds for its scholarships and interest-free loans programs, as well as bring the community together in a fun and relaxing outdoor event.

Preceding the Winefest is a five-course gourmet winemaker dinner at Creekside Cellars in Evergreen on August 12th. Michelle Cleveland, the winemaker, and Irene Boyd, the chef, collaborate to deliver perfectly paired wines with a delicious meal starting with an elegant first course all the way through dessert. Seating at this dinner is limited to 30 people, so please purchase your tickets early. Click here to purchase tickets for Winefest Admission and/or the Winemaker Dinner.
