Wine Club is a monthly tasting series held at the Hotel Boulderado in downtown Boulder. Each gathering pours a themed flight and gives you a chance to taste through a lineup you might not pour for yourself at home, with staff on hand to talk through what's in your glass. It's a low-key way to spend an evening learning and comparing notes with other drinkers.

The setting is part of the draw. The Hotel Boulderado has anchored downtown since 1909, and its lobby and bar carry the detail of an old grand hotel. Tastings fold into the hotel's broader calendar of happenings, so a wine evening often slots alongside the building's other weekly events.

Check the hotel's happenings page for the current month's theme and to reserve a spot, since each session is a one-night event rather than a standing weekly fixture.
