Denver has a lively food and drink scene with plenty of opportunities to enjoy Champagne, from upscale restaurants and hotel bars to wine-focused spots and stylish cocktail lounges. LoDo, RiNo, Cherry Creek and Union Station are some of the most interesting areas to explore, each offering a different side of the city.
LoDo (Lower Downtown) is the historic heart of Denver, with converted warehouses, restaurants, bars and the beautiful Union Station. RiNo (River North Art District) has a more creative feel, known for street art, breweries, restaurants and independent businesses. Cherry Creek is the polished option, with upscale shopping, hotels and fine dining.
Denver’s food scene also makes it easy to explore what to eat with Champagne. Oysters, seafood and caviar are classic choices, while Colorado cheeses, charcuterie and modern American cuisine offer more local pairings.
Denver was founded during the Colorado Gold Rush in 1858 and grew rapidly as a supply and trading centre for the Rocky Mountain region. Today, the mountains remain a huge part of the city’s identity – even though the city itself is relatively urban and energetic.
Denver is a great base if you want to combine a city break with the Rocky Mountains. Spend time exploring LoDo and Union Station, RiNo and Cherry Creek, then head outside the city for mountain scenery, hiking or skiing. Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre is another memorable nearby stop, particularly if you can catch a concert there.

Yes. Selected restaurants, wine bars, hotels and lounges offer Champagne by the glass, particularly in the city’s more upscale dining areas.
Try oysters, seafood, caviar, Colorado cheeses and charcuterie. Champagne’s acidity also makes it a good match for richer dishes when there is enough freshness to balance them.
Explore Colorado wines, craft beer, whiskey and cocktails. Denver has a particularly strong brewery culture, so local beer is definitely worth trying alongside Champagne.
Explore Union Station, LoDo, RiNo, Cherry Creek and the Denver Art Museum, then head to Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre or into the nearby Rocky Mountains for hiking and scenic drives.
May to October is ideal for exploring Denver and the surrounding mountains, with warmer weather and plenty of outdoor activities. December to March is a good choice if you want to combine the city with skiing in the Rockies.
Definitely. Denver combines Champagne, excellent restaurants, craft drinks, creative neighbourhoods and easy access to the Rocky Mountains, making it a great city-and-mountains destination.
