Keystone, Colorado is home to many popular summertime festivals, and the Keystone Wine and Jazz Festival has been a high-country staple for over 20 years! On July 18 and 19, 2026, head up to River Run Village to see what makes this one of the most vibrant, unique weekends in the mountains.
Swirl, Sip, and Savor
The Wine and Jazz Festival features hundreds of different varieties of wine from a diverse host of vendors and regions. Whether you prefer a crisp, high-altitude white or a bold, rich red, you'll find plenty to love. When you purchase a Grand Tasting single-day or weekend sampling pass, you will receive a commemorative tasting glass that grants you access to unlimited pours during festival hours.
Pro Tip: Make sure to check out the new hours for Sunday, with wine pouring from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM.
Live Jazz, DELICIOUS BITES & Educational Seminars
Whether you are a certified wine connoisseur or just love soaking up the high-alpine sunshine, the incredible atmosphere is not to miss. Live music across multiple village stages is completely free to attend—so don't forget to pack your dancing shoes!
To truly elevate your experience, you can also join an exclusive, expert-led educational seminar to expand your palate before the grand tasting begins. Here is the official schedule for the weekend:
