We came to Bonacquisti for an alumni wine tasting event on a Thursday in May 2025, and I left with a bottle of sparkling. Paul, the owner was very professional and welcoming. The shop is easy to get to, and there's plenty of parking. The interior is cute and contains colorful paintings. There are 3 large wine tanks where Paul makes his own wine! There's plenty of seating area too! We'll be back on a weekend with live music. read more

I came by for an "Introductory Wine Class" and learned so much! Paul was a great instructor and covered the wine making process as well as tasting tips. It was a lot of fun practicing wine tasting with a sommelier! We tried a bunch of wines and my favorites were the barbera and the cab franc - so good! The charcuterie boards for the class were phenomenal, with a great pairing of meats, cheeses, nuts, bread, and giardiniera. Such a fun afternoon learning about wine, I definitely recommend the class! The winery itself has a very unique feel, filled with colorful artwork from a local artist -- almost felt like I was in Santa Fe. read more

Enjoyed an impromptu wine tasting on a Monday. What a pleasure to get to meet the owner, 18 years in the business! My husband is a white wine fan and so enjoyed a glass of the white blend, Bella Risa. Every single red of the 6 I tasted was truly delicious. Made it hard to choose just 1 to bring home! Being a syrah fan, I went with Vinny No Neck. It was a chill artsy vibe. In addition to my 2 bottles, I bought some of the resident artist, Daniel Luna, work that is on display, Would definitely come back! read more

We visited for the first time this afternoon. We really enjoyed the wine pairings with delicious chicken wings and sides! We'll be back for your upcoming events as well. read more

Bonacquisti Wine Company - two glasses of wine and a plate of food - Wineries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I had driven by Bonacquisti a handful of times and had seen the sign out front of the intersection that indicated "wine tasting" down the way. So glad that I finally got to see where the magic happens. This past Saturday there was a cute little holiday market set up inside the tasting room, in addition to the wine. It made for a very warm welcome upon walking inside. My husband and I did a tasting, which is a steal at $10 per person. You get to try 6-7 wines, all of which are made in-house. Though I didn't love their Pinot Grigio or the first few reds sampled, their Rosso Di as well as their Cab Franc wines are very good! Beyond tasting, customers can purchase full glasses of wine or carafes to be enjoying inside. Or take a growler of wine to-go. However you prefer to make it an occasion. This would be a cute spot for a ladies day out/bridal shower, since there's a decent amount of space and seating. Plus you can order food and enjoy it with your vino. It's not fancy, but an honest-to-goodness Colorado winery experience. read more

I attended a wine class and it was so fun! Paul, the owner, was our teacher and he was a delight! It was a small class which made the experience personable. We learned new things and received very generous samples of wine and a little snack board. We enjoyed all of the wines we tasted and enjoy supporting local. We will definitely be back to buy their wines in the future! Thanks Paul and staff! read more

Come here for the wine tasting and leave with a bottle of sangria! My friend and I found 'winery row' on a google search one day and decided to check out this winery. I loved the décor of the winery- very big bright and colorful artworks hanging along the walls by a local artist. The artist even created the artwork for the wine labels and there's a good story behind every one, just ask! The owner helped us out and shared jokes, stories, and even taught us a few things during our tasting! Its $10 for a tasting of all their wines which ranges from 5-6 wines, depending on what they have. They have a wonderful area to stand at the bar or sit down and relax. They have their own kitchen so you can stay awhile. My absolute favorite was their sangria. It is made with peach concentrate and you can smell and taste it in every sip. I've had other sangrias before that taste overly sugary or watered down and this is made just right, its incredibly refreshing. Its $21 for the growler but you get to keep the growler and its $16 refills after that. Worth every penny. I was also impressed by their wine club. It's free to enroll, you're only required to buy 3 bottles once a quarter (So easy to do). They will throw a wine tasting 'party' for you to come pick up the wine. With the wine bottles around $15-$19 this is too good of a deal to pass up. Wish there was wineries closer to me that have this kind of deal! TIP: Check groupon before you go, we found out about this winery by buying a groupon and its one heck of a deal! read more

Hidden in a small strip of stores off 46th and Pecos is the Bonacquisti Wine Company. While I've driven on I-70 countless times I do not know the last time I have gotten off on Pecos. The shop is in a strip of other new businesses. The owner and other employee were very helpful throughout the event I attended, which was a tasting of most of their wines. They described each wine (two to three Reds and whites) before tasting. My favorite was a red sangiovese Strong Neck Vinny (I believe). read more

Fairly good wine and great customer service. I wish more tasting rooms and wineries had the type of vibe and employees on display at Bonacquisti. We felt right at home after we nuzzled up at the bar and chatted up a nice guy (darn I forget his name, it was probably Paul that others mention). We tasted a number of wines and found a few to be average and a few to be good. Nothing blew me away but I'm ok with that. The prices are reasonable and if I could, I would have walked away with a bottle or two. I would certainly return and wish BWC continued success. read more

Amazing vibe! Live music and lots of character! Get yourself a glass of red blend and enjoy the music and dancing. Very intimate and friendly environment. The wine is yummy! Get a bottle to share. read more

Every Saturday: $5 tasting fee for 5 wines. You can't really go too wrong there. With Italian ancestry, Paul Bonacquisti grew up learning the wine-making craft, but only came to start his own wine company six years ago. Thank goodness he did! The Carmenere is my personal fave: a red blend similar to a Cab Sav but on the smoother side. But what is bold is the Cabernet and it is downright delightful. I urge anyone looking to sip some wine in a comfortable environment to pay a visit to locally owned and operated, Bonaquisti. If it's not for the award winning wine they have accumulated over the years, then it's for the community support this business exudes. Also - when visiting, check into their membership program. It's a pretty sweet deal with a lot wine education and community engagement through tasting events. read more

Such a chill vibe with the best wine. Emily always takes the best care of me and you can't beat the $5 happy hour big pour glasses. If you love wine you need to stop by here. Friday night live music is spot on as well! Also they have wine on tap! Yes on tap! Fill a growler to take home! read more

This is a way cool place, if you like wine. They make their own wine and they have a good selection of different wines. If you are lucky, you could go there during a tasting or during some event. I was there for their opening and they had lots of excellent food that was complemented by the different wines. Tasting Room Hours Monday - Saturday 11am - 5pm Sunday Noon - 4pm Yes, you read that right. Sunday!!! I've gotten wine there on Sunday's before and its a great feeling to purchase alcohol on a Sunday. I recommend their White Merlot, however, the last time I was there they were out of it and they weren't going to have any more this year. If you like wine then check this place out, I think you'll be happy you did. read more

Bonacquisti was recommended to me by a friend who is a member, and a gang of us descended on them on a Friday Night during their live music event- UNCORKED! Most of us paid the $10 member fee for a 6-wine tasting (since our member friend was present). Favorites included the Carmenere and the Sangiovese in the reds, the Pinot Grigio in the whites, and the fizzy Muscato in the pinks... Yum! Bonacquisti tasting and tap room is a great spot for tastings and tours of the wine-production area, as well a a great place to enjoy live music and dancing! Friday Nights Uncorked is a weekly live music event that provides the best occasion to enjoy friends, wine, and music all at once! Amazing! Plus, they have tons of amazing art by Daniel Luna, who designs all of their labels. Get in there! Have some wine! read more

This place was PACKED for the Grand Opening of Winery Row. It was extremely difficult to get to the counter to do our tasting and purchase our bottles. In fact, they just seemed to be extremely understaffed. They had one person doing both the pouring & the cash register. It took us over an hour to try the 6 or so wines. Of the wines themselves, I really only liked the Riesling and the Red blend. The rest I couldn't get too excited about. Parking here SUCKS!!! Just give up, park a block away and walk, it is SO worth it. When turning into this lot, you can't really tell if there are any spaces. Then, there is no where to turn around if you get it and can't find a space. This made for some Three Stooges style comedy trying to get 3+ cars to back out onto Pecos simultaneously. Not cool. I'm sure if you go on a "normal" day, it will be a nice trip & tasting. I'd definitely recommend weekdays only until the buzz about this place wears off. Special note: Go to the Colorado Winery Row website and print out a coupon for free wine tasting at each of the 4 wineries (Garfield, Cottonwood, Versa & Bonacquisti). read more

Amazing Northside establishment. Paul and his team make the best wine in Denver and their hospitality is amazing. They treat you like family no matter if you're walking in there for the first time or fiftieth. Highly recommend! read more

LOVE LOVE this place - the guy that owns it Rocks and so does his Vino.

Haha - if you're near there - check it out. read more

My husband and I visited this small winery last week. We were traveling from VA. The owner, Paul was very kind and informative about the grapes grown in Colorado. We enjoyed a flight and I must say that their wines rivals some of the best wineries in VA (Charlottesville). We ended up buying 4 different bottles of red. Thanks Paul!! read more

I was so impressed with myself when I found this place- came to find out they have been around for 10 years-- so clearly I have been living in a hole. Very cute place- love all the art on the walls. They do live music on Friday nights and I cant wait to check it out. 10$ to taste 5 wines seemed like a lot when other wineries is $10 for all their wine- which is close to 10 wines. Not a big deal cause all their wine was great. I loved that they had wine on tap- I thought that was genius and so great you can get a growler to take home! read more

TL;DR Came here for a wine tasting with a big group. Home-y feel and good service. Wine is good for local, but nothing overly remarkable. I love wine tastings, one of my favorite activities. I was here with a sizable group and they were extremely accommodating (we did have a reservation) and the upstairs room was so home-y and comfortable and it made us feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. Canoli was fantastic. Would recommend an order! Wine was fairly good. We tried a white and four reds and one sangria. The white pino gri was meh. The series of wines was pretty good. They only get their grapes pretty locally so I think sometimes it sounds like their wine is a bit dependent. The sangria was my fav! read more

This place is great! We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back! The six of us a had a wine tasting which included 6 or 7 partial pours, and a full glass of wine. We ate off of their small menu of Paninis and Charcuterie. Call ahead to see if they have live music, since they may be open later! read more

I was here for a wedding reception and have to say it is a really cool place. I can't tell you much about the normal day to day things, but the wine was great and the atmosphere was so cool!

Aw, gee, why are you telling me I ought to review this place, Yelp? I have already reviewed it twice. Oh well. It's good enough, and I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like it! OK, good wine in the Italian tradition, a fun location, and music and food too every Friday and Saturday, We have fun every time we go. Paul has been doing this for years and his wine keeps improving, plus he is importing some wines from Italy and Spain too, so there is something for every palate. Someday I will get my band to play here. If I wasn't so damned lazy... wait, I'm retired! I don't have to do a damned thing if I don't want to! read more

My wife and I were in Denver back in May visiting family and wanted to do some wine tasting. We've been as far north as the Russian River and South West of Tucson Az and some French and Italian wine. Bonacquisti was our third stop and only had wished we came here first. Paul's daughter was very sweet and spent some time with us to tell us a little about the family history and providing us with quite the food pairing for our wine. Paul was quite the host, sharing a little background on were they get their grapes the commitment the family dedication to put out the best quality product they can produce. You can see it in their eyes and in how good their wine taste. We shared Cab Frank, ( Thank You Paul). I was quite surprised and can hardly wait for our next visit to the mile high city and a stop at Bonacquisti. read more

This is my favorite winery on Colorado Winery Row! Pretty much every wine I tasted was amazing, and made me want to buy a bottle of each! My favorites were the Mouvedre blend, and the Old Vine Zin. I liked the wine so much that I even signed up for their Wine Club. How excited am I going to be get 3 bottles of wine in the mail every 4 months?!?! Wine club members also get other bonuses like free tastings for you and your friends and discounted/waived fees for winery events. I'll definitely be bringing all out of town guests here! The tasting space is pretty small, and was super packed on opening day of winery row. I imagine that other days aren't as crowded, and probably more enjoyable. The owner was very friendly and personable, and fun to hang out with while sipping his wonderful wine. They were serving lots of tasty snacks, including a variety of meats/cheeses, smoked salmon, and grilled pizzas. Unfortunately, the pizza went too quick, so I was unable to try it...but the spicy salami and brie cheese were awesome! I'm so glad to have found this little winery, and look forward to going back very soon! read more

Our absolute favorite winery! Paul let us rent the space for our wedding reception back in March 2010 when BONACQUISTI was just opening. We have been wine club members ever since that fantastic day!

The wine is unbeatable in flavor, quality, and price point! read more

Wow...what a great idea to put all those winery's in one place...especially for the Denverite who doesn't want to trek all the way to the mountains for a wine experience. If you are into wine like I am, then this is a wonderful place to grab a few friends for the afternoon and try many different wines at one destination (since next to Bonacquisti is Cottonwood Cellars, The Olathe Winery, Garfield Estates Vinyard and Winery, and Verso Cellars) I happened to go the grand opening event this weekend and it was packed. I chose to review Bonacquisti since it was my favorite out of the listed above, so much so, that I joined there wine club. So every quarter I will receive 3 bottles of wine (typically two reds and a white, with one being limited) for roughly $46-54/quarter. The club membership also allows you to attend tasting for free, get discounts on wine, and bring fellow winos for tasting too. The staff was all really nice and they even had some snacks to nibble on...I'm just sad all the vultures swarmed around the pizza when it came of the oven and I wasn't able to even taste a crumb. Very, Very, Very excited to go back! read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Bonacquisti. I couldn't find anything bad to say about it if I tried. Wait...ok, too far away. Paul, move it closer. Now then, this wine is fantastic. The Old Vine Zin is probably my favorite, but I love everything they make. I look forward to every oppurtunity to come here. And when the grilled pizza gets made, YEAH BUDDY!!! Paul is so friendly and welcoming, he really knows how to treat you. Everything is perfect. Except the distance. Seriously, there's a couple of places for rent near me. Snatch one up. Please. read more

Very cute place on the inside, we were mildly concerned on the way in because there's a not so great looking auto shop next to it. Bought the Groupon to use with a friend visiting from out of town and was not disappointed. The woman actually ended up giving us more wine to taste than she was supposed to, but we weren't complaining! I likely go back! Friend loved the Sangria so much she bought a growler to take home to NC. read more

Wine tasting was great. Food and snacks where good. I recommend ordering sangria, cider beer, and Sierra mist, it was so good. It's not on the menu but ask Emily and she will hook you up. Ps we need to come with name. My pick is Pecos moonlight. read more

Great little local winery that I recommend to all my fellow wine lovers! The staff is very friendly and knowledgable and if you go on the right day you can meet the owner/wine maker and pick his brain. Went there for a wine tasting, which was very delicious with generous portions, and found out they sometimes have live music and a food truck parked out front. I wasn't the biggest fan of their red wine served on draft. It was a little on the chilled side and had a slight carbonation to it that I'm not used to. Everything else was very enjoyable! read more

We were pretty disappointed with our experience sadly. It is very cool, as an idea. They have wine growlers and on top which is very appealing to the brewery crowd of denver. The patrons we're very pleasant as well and encouraged us about the place. On the negative side, the wines were not very good. We started at Rykers's which is all about drinkable wine so maybe that was why we had problems. I like a majority of wines and so does my husband but their wasn't any that stood out. I was also disappointed in the tasting experience. The first gentleman was polite but didn't say much about the wine itself when giving a taster. He left because I think there was an event going on. The second guy knew nothing about the wine and barely gave us even a sip of wine. I have never been given such a minimal taste which is upsetting when you pay for the tasting. At one point he used the measuring glass, poured a little in both our glasses and threw the rest away! I was so sad at the waste it was. I hope it was just our experience because the guy new more about beer and couldn't answer even one of our questions about wine. Not sure if we will be back but we did buy a growler. I hope if we do go back, someone will make the time to answer questions and actually give us wine. read more

Excellent wines and such a welcoming atmosphere! Been wanting to try it and finally made the trip today. Definitely worth the drive!
