Grapes and Grass Wine and Bluegrass Festival

Grapes and Grass Wine and Bluegrass Festival is returning to the Highland City Club on August 24 -25, 2018.

The second year of what will hopefully become a long-lasting Boulder tradition is following the formula of 2017’s inaugural festival by pairing an incredible lineup of Bluegrass and Americana music with an equally impressive lineup of premium wines.

This year the wine is being curated by Master Sommelier, Brett Zimmerman, owner of Boulder Wine Merchant.

The festival is building on the success of 2017 and making some minor changes to improve upon what was already a huge success.  2018’s Grapes and Grass will feature a larger main stage, more food options, Kid’s activities, luxury bathrooms and an After-Grass party at Boulder Theater with music by The Drunken Hearts and Gasoline Lollipops.
