Balistreri Vineyards - Denver, Colorado

We had our wedding reception at Balistreri on 8/31/24 and we were so glad we chose them! The weather worked out perfectly to have our band and dance floor outside . With their lighting already strung outside to the stage it was beautiful! Throughout the planning process, Mattie and Katy were great about quick responses and were really easy to work with to make sure the day fit our vision. Having in house catering that had great food also made the day so much easier to plan. We attended a group tasting event to taste a large variety of food options and then a private tasting to finalize our menu which we would highly recommend. All of our guests had great things to say about the food and thought the space was beautiful! Overall, we were so happy with our choice and would recommend Balisteri to anyone else looking for a reception spot! (photos by Megan Simpson - msimpsonphoto.com)

We had our wedding at Balistreri on October 26th, and it could not have been a more perfect day thanks to the venue and the incredible staff. Mattie and Katy made the planning process a breeze, helped us pick our food out, took our wishes and feedback into account, and truly just gave us everything we could have wanted out of this day. They're incredibly flexible to your vision but will provide input and thoughts when needed, ensuring that everything is set up for success.

The food and the wine is INCREDIBLE. We got so many compliments all night and after the fact about the dishes (lamb, salmon, and risotto), the appetizers, the desserts, the late night snack, and especially the cabernet. They're also incredibly accommodating to allergies, working with us for our friends and family with dietary restrictions to make sure everyone is aware of ingredients. We attended a tasting event to try a variety of food options, and then had a private tasting to finalize our menu, where Mattie and the chefs sat down with us and helped us tailor our menu to our exact wishes.

The set-up, bartending, and wait stuff were all top notch - making our day run incredibly smoothly. The inclusion of chairs, linens, flatware, etc. and catering in house was a huge draw for us in terms of ease of planning. They have some highly recommended vendors for entertainment and alcohol delivery, who are not mandatory to use, but who worked seamlessly with the venue to create an easy and low stress day.

Lastly, the venue is absolutely beautiful. It is set up so naturally perfectly that we barely felt the need for additional decor. The garage doors being open between the ceremony and reception spaces allowed for such a seamless flow and natural feeling cocktail hour. Our event of 120 guests fit the space wonderfully. We got married right at sunset, late in the year, and were gifted with the most gorgeous weather.

I truly cannot rave enough about how wonderful it was to host at Balistreri. We had the most magical day and could not have done it without this wonderful venue. The amount of personal touches and care they put into hosting your event shows why it is such a popular and well loved place.

Amazing experience that exceeded my expectations in every way.

They took care of SO much for me, which meant a lot as my husband and I are both from out of town, and so was all of our family and friends. We had a wedding of ~120 people, and everything went off without a hitch thanks to the Balistreri Team. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. The food was fantastic, and came out at the right time with ease. We provided them with a signature drink list which their bartender did better than expected!! Everyone loved their wine so much that we had to order more than we planned during our reception (which they were able to do no problem). The venue itself was so convenient, open, and beautiful. I’m so thankful for the Balistreri team, and will be returning any time I’m in the Denver area!

Balisteri is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue! As a photographer I had so much fun working there. There are so many areas to get absolutely stunning photos, not to mention how friendly and kind all the staff are! I can't wait to work there again!

We visited Balistreri this past Saturday for wine tasting based on the excellent reviews - and it was fabulous! Don't let the industrial setting deter you (the winery started in the 1970's when the area was mostly farmland; today it is not). We met John and his wife, along with other family members. All were knowledgeable, personable and very engaging. The wines were tasty, the tour was informative, and we stayed for a bite to eat which was well worth it. Our daughter signed up for the wine of the month club, and will be back to enjoy a glass while sitting outside soon. Highly recommend going for a very memorable afternoon!

Great visit this afternoon with some friends. The wine tasting was $20 per person, and you were able to taste over 20 type of wine. All staff were super friendly and loved to share all their knowledge. The food was great! We tried a cheese and fruit board, potato dish and shrimp fettuccine Alfredo. The owners also offered our friend a complimentary dessert as we were celebrating her birthday! The mousse was so good. We can’t wait to come back this summer!

Shooting and filming Ivanna and Nick's wedding at the Balistreri Event Center at the Winery was an exceptional experience. As the team from Epoch Moment, we've been to many venues, but Balistreri stands out for its unique combination of elegance and charm combined with an industrial setting outside if you needed it.

Located amidst the allure of a family-owned winery, this venue offers a picturesque setting that is both romantic and inviting. The venue provides a stunning canvas for wedding photos, with lush vines and beautifully landscaped grounds that enhance every shot.

The event center itself is beautifully designed, blending rustic winery aesthetics with modern amenities. Its spacious layout accommodates both large festivities and more intimate gatherings without losing a sense of warmth and hospitality. The natural light that filters through the large windows bathes the interior in a warm glow, making every photo and video shot look spectacular.

The staff at Balistreri Event Center are fantastic to work with. They are professional, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about making each wedding a flawless and memorable event. Their coordination on the day of Ivanna and Nick's wedding ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to capture beautiful moments without any interruptions.

For any couple dreaming of a winery style wedding that combines natural beauty with exceptional service, Balistreri Event Center at the Winery is a perfect choice. It's not just a venue; it's an experience that adds an extra touch of magic to your special day.

Rating: ★★★★★ – Highly recommend Balistreri Event Center for a wedding that promises beautiful settings and impeccable service, ensuring your day is as unforgettable as your vows.

We love this place! Have been to many Spring Barrel Tasting Dinners, as well as the Valentines Dinner and it’s consistently a wonderful experience! So glad we found this spot years ago when they were at the Belmar Italian Festival and hosted the children’s grape stomp that are still great memories! Can’t wait to visit again soon!
