Set against an authentic Rocky Mountain venue in Fort Collins, the Blendings Wine & Chocolate Experience compresses the connoisseur’s laboratory into a hands‑on two‑hour workshop led by a master winemaker. Participants move from guided tasting to experiment, creating a blend tuned to their palate and leaving with the option to bottle and label their own wine.

Highlights

THE WINEMAKER

Direct tuition from a master winemaker

The experience is led by a master winemaker who selects the flight and guides participants through an in‑depth tasting and blending process so each guest can craft a unique, balanced bottle.

THE TASTING

Five wines, measured tasting pours

You receive 3‑oz pours of five different wines chosen by the winemaker, sampled in sequence to inform the proportions you’ll use when composing your blend.

THE TAKEAWAY

Make it, bottle it, bring it home

After creating a personalized blend, you can purchase bottles; the winemaker will reproduce your ratios in a larger batch, then bottle and label the wine for you to take away.

What the day feels like

What the workshop feels like

Over two focused hours the master winemaker walks a small group through five carefully chosen wines. Each guest receives 3‑oz pours and, using a separate glass, experiments with mixing the flights to find a personally balanced profile. When you settle on a blend, there’s an option to purchase bottles—the winemaker reproduces your blend at scale, then bottles and labels it so you can take your creation home.
