San Juan Barrel Fest – A Toast to Local Flavor & Live Music in Ridgway, Colorado

Raise your glass at San Juan Barrel Fest—Ridgway’s signature tasting event and a lively fundraiser for the historic Sherbino Theater! Held annually in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, this unique festival brings together the best of Western Colorado’s craft brewers, barrel-aged specialists, and regional vintners. Each participating brewery or winery offers a one-of-a-kind cask, barrel-aged brew, or specialty wine made just for this event—some with experimental flavors, others rooted in tradition.

Guests (21+ with valid ID) can sample these rare creations while enjoying live music, delicious bites, and Ridgway’s unbeatable small-town charm. Though tastings are limited to adults, all ages are welcome to join in the festivities, enjoy the music, and soak up the fun.
