Bigsby's Folly

Bigsby's Folly is a working urban winery, restaurant and event venue inside a restored 1886 warehouse in Denver's River North Art District. The name comes from the founders' dog, Bigsby, and the "folly" of opening an urban winery in a 140-year-old brick warehouse rather than on a quiet hillside. The winery sources fruit from select California vineyards, with much of its production handled in Sonoma close to the source, and also makes wine on site on Wazee Street, where destemming, fermentation, pressing, barrel aging, blending and bottling take place a few steps from the tasting room. The approach is small-lot and low-intervention, using native and selected ferments, neutral and new French oak, and minimal filtration. Visitors can taste wines by the taste, glass, carafe or bottle at the bar or in the tasting room, order from a seasonal food menu built for pairing, and join weekend brunch, happy hour or dinner. The space also hosts private events across four dining areas totaling more than 7,000 square feet with 30-foot ceilings, and offers guided experiences such as Winemaker for a Day blending sessions and wine-and-food pairings.
