Continental Divide Winery offers more than just wine tasting; visitors can participate in a unique wine blending experience. This interactive class allows guests to taste different red wine varietals, create their own custom blend, and then bottle, cork, and label their personalized vintage. The winery also hosts private events, including wedding receptions, in its VIP Barrel Room and outdoor patio. With its dog-friendly policy, live music events, and commitment to quality, Continental Divide Winery has become a beloved destination for both locals and visitors.
