The Denver International Wine Festival gives Colorado locals and visitors an insider's look at the world of wine and food and how they go together. It's a celebration of taste--of wine, of food and even of fine art. Festival goers are likely to taste local beer and distilled spirits as well. Now in its 11th year, the festival puts gold-medal-winning wines of 91 points and higher in glasses for attendees to taste along with food pairings prepared by some of the top chefs in the region. Events during the festival also include a winemaker's dinner and an auction benefitting children and families facing a medical crisis.
