Hope Lives Guided Wine Tasting

Experience, taste, and learn more about wine at the Hope Lives Guided Wine Tasting, hosted by James Blanchard, owner of Blanchard Family Wines! Guests will be led through a tasting of four different artisan, small batch wines, while learning more about how different varietals are produced, how to taste and learn about wines in a tasting flight, and how the unique terroir of Colorado and California wine country contributes to producing excellent wine. 

This family-owned winery label is the creation of James & Mark Blanchard, two brothers with a shared passion for fine wines. Originated in Healdsburg, California, Blanchard Family Wines offers hand-crafted, artisan selections that truly showcase a sense of place, and exhibit boutique winemaking techniques. Their wines, from various appellations of California and Colorado, are extremely low-production and limited in availability.

Sip and savor some excellent wines along with gourmet, locally sourced cheese and charcuterie to compliment your wine tasting flight of four carefully selected wines. This interactive Guided Wine Tasting includes your tasting flight of four artisan wines, cheese and charcuterie, as well as interactive education from James Blanchard.

$30 from every ticket sold will go directly to support Hope Lives, along with 20% of all bottle sales during this fundraising event. Please join us for a wonderful evening of wine and supporting Hope Lives on Friday, September 29, 2023!
