The 2017 Castle Rock WineFest, presented by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce, will feature wineries, demonstrations, artisans/lifestyle vendors, entertainment and delicious cuisine.

The WineFest Committee is looking for Restaurants (retail food establishments) to complement the high quality of Colorado wines. The Committee encourages restaurateurs, food trucks and gourmet food vendors offering freshly prepared entrees and desserts, as well as traditional convenience food vendors, to apply.
