Join MileagePlus Exclusives and raise your glass at the 12th Annual Denver International Wine Festival. This three-day wine and food festival showcases the largest selection of international and domestic wines at any Grand Tasting in the Rocky Mountain region. Named one of the “Top 10 Can’t Miss Fall Wine Festivals” in the U.S. by Fodor’s, and one of the Top Fall Wine Festivals by Thrillist, this event is a must for all wine enthusiasts.


You and a guest will fly to Denver for 3 days of VIP access, begining with accommodations at the state-of-the-art Westin Denver International Airport hotel. The festival kicks off on Wednesday, November 2 with a multi-course winemaker’s dinner featuring selections from Tenuta Sette Cieli wines from Bolgheri. One of Colorado’s most renowned annual culinary events, the Pairsine Chefs Fine Food & Wine Pairing Competition, launches the festival activities the following day. Here, ten artistic, wine-savvy chefs are assigned two of the gold-medal-winning wines from the competition and must create gourmet food pairings for each wine. You'll have the chance to savor 20 food and wine pairings and more than 40 gold medal wines (scored 91 or higher) as each chef competes for the coveted People’s Choice Award. Then top off your weekend with the region’s largest wine tasting at the Grand Tasting of International Wines. You’ll enjoy more than eighty wineries and distilleries pouring before attending a private, winemaker-led session that will include topline winemaking information and background history, wine tastings and special wine pairings. Don’t miss your chance to attend this truly unique celebration. Bid now.
