Travel to Europe with Boulder Wine Merchant! New European wine region tastings every Wednesday!

“The Grand European Wine Wednesday Tasting Tour: From the Danube to the Douro”

For the next 3 months, we’ll be “traveling” through the great wine regions of Europe.

See tomorrow’s lineup below! We hope to see you Weds., May 6, 5-7pm!

Boulder Wine Merchant is thrilled to introduce a fresh new focus for our Wine Wednesday tastings — an immersive, three-month journey through some of Europe’s most compelling wine regions.

Each month, we’ll spotlight a different country, diving deep into its terroir, traditions, and top producers — offering a true sense of place in every glass.

We begin in Austria, where the Danube River carves through a landscape of dramatic vineyards and historic villages. Expect precision and purity — from the crystalline energy of Grüner Veltliner and Riesling to the soulful reds of Burgenland and the alpine freshness of Styria. These are wines of tension, elegance, and quiet power.

In June, we travel to Germany, home to some of the world’s most age-worthy and expressive wines. From the steep, slate-laced vineyards of the Mosel to the structured, dry styles of the Rheingau and beyond, German wines balance brilliance and depth with unmatched finesse.

We’ll conclude in Portugal, one of the most dynamic and underappreciated wine cultures in the world. Beyond Port, discover a thrilling range of indigenous varietals, coastal freshness, and bold, sun-drenched reds from regions like the Douro, Dão, and Vinho Verde — wines that overdeliver in both character and value.

Join us each Wednesday from 5-7pm as we explore these remarkable regions — tasting, learning, and discovering something new along the way.

We kick things off this Wednesday, May 6, 5-7pm, with a focused tasting of four wines from Austria’s Danube region.

Come travel with us — no passport required.
