There’s a new reason to raise your glass this summer. On July 26, 2025, Crafts, Cocktails & Corks is bringing something fresh to the mountain town of Winter Park, Colorado—an afternoon designed for good drinks, great food, live music, and an even better cause.
Held at the Rendezvous Event Center, this tasting event invites you to slow down, sample generously, and soak up the kind of summer day that feels like it was made just for you. Whether you’re a wine lover, beer explorer, or cocktail connoisseur, this one-day event offers a chance to discover local favorites, try something new, and enjoy it all under the open sky.
What’s Pouring: A Closer Look at the Event
Crafts, Cocktails & Corks is not just about sipping—it’s about experiencing. Wineries, breweries, and distilleries from across Colorado will come together to offer tasting stations filled with bold reds, crisp whites, smooth lagers, hoppy brews, and flavorful small-batch spirits.
But this isn’t a typical tasting. Each participating vendor is part of a friendly “Best Of” contest, where guests get to vote for their favorites. You’re not just a spectator—you’re part of the experience. Each pour might earn someone a local title, and your feedback helps crown the top creators.
Add in a full lineup of food vendors offering sweet, savory, and everything in between, and you’ve got an afternoon that’s easy to enjoy at your own pace. It’s not fast. It’s not crowded. It’s thoughtful, curated, and relaxed.
Live music adds to the setting, playing as the sun moves through the sky. Friends toast. Strangers chat. Laughter rises above the sound of clinking glasses. It’s exactly what a tasting event in the mountains should feel like.
More Than a Good Time
What makes this event special isn’t just the drinks—it’s the purpose behind it.
Crafts, Cocktails & Corks is a fundraiser for the Grand Foundation’s G.A.P. Fund for Youth. The G.A.P. Fund helps cover costs for Grand County kids to participate in non-academic activities—things like sports, camps, arts programs, and other meaningful experiences that might otherwise be out of reach.
Every ticket sold, every sip taken, and every vote cast helps give a local child the chance to join in, grow, and belong. So while you’re enjoying yourself, you’re also giving something back. That’s a good reason to lift your glass.
A Perfect Excuse to Stay the Night
Let’s be honest—when cocktails, wine, and beer are on the menu, nobody wants to drive home. That’s why staying close makes the whole experience better. And The Jabberwocky is just the place to do it.
Located just minutes from the Rendezvous Event Center, The Jabberwocky offers a private, peaceful home base to wind down after the event. Instead of waiting in traffic or navigating hotel lobbies, you’ll step into a space that feels calm, cozy, and entirely yours.
