Blanchard Family Wines was one of the first businesses to join our Dairy Block family in 2018. Hailing from Sonoma, California originally, co-owners James, Mark, and Shanna Blanchard wanted to bring their California wine style to Colorado and join the collaborative community here on the Block.
Blanchard Family Wines sources grapes from both California and Colorado, blending and bottling all of their wines here on-site. But don’t expect to only find Blanchard-made wines at their tasting room! They bring in wines from the Western Slope to feature on the front range, offering Denver a chance to experience all that Colorado wines have to offer. In fact, Blanchard carries more Colorado wine than any liquor store or restaurant in the state!
The main philosophy of Blanchard Family Wines is to uplift their community of winemakers and wine-lovers alike, providing a welcoming gathering space and supporting causes they believe in. They maintain longstanding partnerships with non-profits that empower women and children, especially those that focus on homelessness and education. Raise a glass with Blanchard every day on the Block!
LEARN MOREBlanchard Family Wines offers a unique opportunity to host events of all sizes, from a 5-10 person Happy Hour to a 150-person party. Invite your friends and family to a sit-down educational class or sip wine late into the night after your wedding! With an array of diverse wines, indoor and outdoor seating, and access to including other Dairy Block restaurants and businesses, Blanchard Family Wines can accommodate just about any gathering.
