“The party of the summer” brings together three essential elements: great people (KUVO music fans), great music (H2 Big Band with Erica Brown, Hugh Ragin and Rich Chiaraluce, and the Sam Mayfield Blues Revue), and GREAT FOOD from 16 Colorado food, drink and dessert providers!

Check out Live at the Vineyards Restaurants!

The culinary influences you’ll experience come from around the world: Smokin’ Fins (Arvada, Littleton) is serving a Thai Noodle Salad with a pineapple-tahini dressing. Little India returns with a Chicken Tikka Masala and their famous Saag Paneer. The islands are represented by Reggae Pot Jamaican Grill (Denver and Colorado Springs), which offers their sumptuous Spicy Jerk Chicken and Grilled Tilapia. Live at the Vineyards newcomer La Sandwichera de Puerto Rico (Brighton) presents the classic Arroz con Pollo and Tostones (twice-fried plantains).

We’ve got the Latin fare covered with Adobo Food Truck’s award-winning Smoked Carnitas.  And welcome to newcomers Flavor of Tabasco (Birria Tacos with Consommé) and Palenque Cocina Y Agaveria (Pozole Rojo with Pork and vegan Pozole Verde). A special welcome to the young culinary artists at the Focus Point Comal Heritage Food Incubator serving Five Points, RiNo and now Live at the Vineyards!

Continentally, you want to save room for barbecue from Vineyards favorites Rolling Smoke and Scooters Smokin’ BBQ from Colorado Springs.  Snarfburgers will be on-site cooking up their award-winning hamburgers, and Walters 303 Pizzeria & Publik House will serve their classic Colorado pies – a favorite from our attendees over the years.

Dessert anyone?  Little Man Ice Cream is bringing Salted Oreo, 16th Street Chocolate, and Banana Pudding. The Makery Cake Company will indulge you with Pink Champagne, Chocolate Cabernet, and GF Vegan Tiramisu Cake Cups (not a cupcake).

Host Balistreri Vineyards lays out the fresh fruit, cheeses, and fresh vintages of their Sicilian-inspired, naturally-made wines from hand-harvested grapes in western Colorado and California. PepsiCo provides refreshments for the summer day.

Word to the wise, come hungry.
