Dinner after our event: We will have a group staying for dinner after the event, usually 20-30 people. Please RSVP on eventbrite for this portion of the event so we can get a headcount for staffing. We are working with the chef to set up a dinner special and of course Second Home's bar area will be open after the event. We encourage you to stay and order a sandwich, appetizer or dessert if you want to and detox.

About our events: Denver Wine Meetup/UncorkedDenver.com events are a unique opportunity to socialize with other young/mid professionals and make new friends over select wines paired with appetizers, sometimes with the winemaker visiting.

Our events differ from the many "happy hours" in a bar groups around Denver and high priced wine organizations, distributor/festival type events as the events are a wine social with the opportunity to meet a winemaker and focus on learning about a winery and/or a varietal. Our events provide members a unique wine and culinary pairing event with the aspect of a social mixer at an affordable price.

Please note: Our party area will be private (and blocked from the public) and we will turn away folks who do not have a ticket as we must provide the headcount to the chef and winemaker.
