Barrel into Spring | May 8 & 9

Barrel into Spring returns to Palisade on May 8th rom 2:00–7:00 PM and May 9th from 11:00 AM–5:00 PM, inviting guests to explore Colorado wine country at its most vibrant.

This self-guided, two-day experience features seven participating wineries, where attendees will enjoy curated food and wine samples, exclusive discounts on wine and other products, and a relaxed springtime atmosphere.

New this year, guests will use a digital passport, making it easier than ever to track winery visits and engage with each stop along the way. Participants will check in at their preassigned starting winery to pick up their tasting glass and wristband, then follow the digital passport as they tour the region at their own pace.

Guests who complete all eight winery check-ins by the end of the weekend will be entered into a drawing to win a free case of Colorado wine—the perfect way to toast a successful Barrel into Spring.

• Avant Vineyards
