September 14 – 20, 2026 · Denver, CO
One week. One neighborhood. Five days of Crush Courses, producer-hosted tastings, and chef-led dinners with Colorado’s most iconic sommeliers, award-winning chefs and people bringing new perspectives and fresh energy to Denver’s wine scene. The week will be capped by a full-blown wine fest in FiNO’s backyard with live music, Denver’s best food pop-ups and 100’s of bottles to taste. Plus, a wine store curated by our somms with access to unique take-home bottles directly from producers and small distributors.
FiNO’s Funky Crush is a celebration of the wines we love most: natural, organic, biodynamic, small-production, made by winemakers with something to say. Come to Funky Crush for good food, great wine, and an unforgettable week of popping bottles and breaking bread with friends, old and new.
Weekday Fest Happennings · September 14-18
Every weekday, join our Crush Courses, daytime wine education sessions with iconic and accomplished sommeliers. We’ve teamed up with Caroline Clark of Id Est Hospitality (Bruto, The Wolf’s Tailor, Basta, Hey Kiddo, and Ok Yeah), Clara Klein of Frasca Food & Wine (Tavernetta, Osteria Alberico), Hannah Cunningham (owner of Bon Vin Bottle Shop), and Kinga Mackowiak (Apple Blossom at Hyatt Centric Downtown Denver).
In the evening, grab a reservation for dinner with Chef Michael Diaz de Leon (owner of Molino Chido and James Beard Finalist) or Chef Doug Rankin, of Bar Chelou (named one of the 12 Best Restaurants in America), and his sommelier, the inimitable Jacob Roadhouse. Plus, FiNO’s coastal-Mediterranean inspired kitchen will be serving up dishes that pair with gluggable glasses and bottles you’ll tell your grandchildren about.
Saturday and Sunday, FiNO’s Wine Garden becomes the main event. Live music, wine vendors, and more.
Doors open to the public at 3PM.
Each day includes wine by the pour from every participating producer, passed apps from FiNO’s kitchen, food from our favorite local pop-ups, all-day live music, and a retail shop to take your favorite bottles home.
FiNO’s Funky Crush runs September 14–20 across The All Inn Hotel’s entire property — FiNO, All Is Well, and the Wine Garden.
