Blanchard Family Wines is located in the Dairy Block off of Wazee near Union Station. We went in around the holidays in December and were met with prompt service and very kind servers. The place is set up for groups, parties, or can be just for one or two. They do have a good selection of wines, both whites and reds based off what I saw from their menu. They also had a wine cocktail that was very tasty, though this was seasonal. Looking to try out some new wines, Blanchard's is your place.

Four stars because service started off rocky. I came in right behind a table of four and while…read morethey were sat immediately, the staff member walked off and I stood there for at least another five minutes without being acknowledged. Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar.

We loved seeing the highest suspension bridge in North America and the whitewater rafters floating along the Arkansas River.

The Best Date Night and Scenic Train Ride in Colorado--Absolutely Worth Every Penny!…read more If you're visiting Colorado, the Royal Gorge Route Railroad should be at the top of your bucket list. It is, without question, one of the most spectacular ways to experience the Royal Gorge. The towering canyon walls, rushing river below, and breathtaking scenery make you feel completely immersed in one of North America's most incredible natural wonders. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was friendly, professional, and passionate about making our experience memorable. We booked the Vista Dome with dinner, and it exceeded every expectation. The food was delicious, the cocktails were excellent, and the service was attentive without ever feeling rushed. Once dinner was over, we explored the open-air cars, and that alone was worth the trip! We spotted deer along the riverbank, a majestic bald eagle soaring overhead, and even a beaver swimming below. Being outside while the train winds through the gorge is something you simply can't capture in photos--you have to experience it for yourself. I've read reviews mentioning the price, but after experiencing it firsthand, I couldn't disagree more. For a luxury train ride, exceptional service, a wonderful dinner, handcrafted drinks, and access to scenery you can't experience any other way, it is an outstanding value. This is so much more than a train ride--it's an unforgettable adventure and one of the best date nights we've ever had. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a romantic evening, or simply looking for a truly unique Colorado experience, I can't recommend the Royal Gorge Route Railroad highly enough. We left already talking about our next trip back!

They offer free tours, which involves watching a short clip about the history of Hammond and then watching the employees work through a looking glass. It was neat learning about this candy business; I've never heard about it. I love learning origin stories because it gives me an idea of the company's values. I think it's amazing that they HAND MAKE all their candies. They have cute paper hats that you can wear. In addition, there are some areas for good photo opportunities. After the tour, you are gifted with a candy cane! You are then led into their candy store. You obviously don't have to purchase anything, but to complete the experience, it doesn't hurt to walk away with some chocolate. (: I'm not from Colorado, so I'm not sure if the prices were cheaper or more expensive than the grocery store (I'm going to assume more expensive). Regardless, we did buy some things. I got a Hammond chocolate bar, some discounted chocolate from their clearance section, and their popular Mitchell Sweets. The Mitchell sweet is $2 for a small packet! My husband liked it, but I thought it was extremely sweet and I only took the tiniest bite. I feel like that little packet can go a long way because of the sweetness. They charge $0.10 for a bag. I didn't want to pay for a bag, so I just used my paper hat as a tray. lol Overall, I did enjoy the visit. I like that it was free and candy cane gift at the end was the sweet cherry on top of the tour.

It was such a fun 30-minute tour with children or adults. The tour starts with a short video explaining the history and giving fun facts about Hammond Candy. After the tour of the factory, we each received a free candy, which was taffy. It's cool that they sell the same taffy at Trader Joe's. We ended up buying some of the caramels and candies to take home to our family. Overall, a fun little experience if you're interested in the candy making process or just want something to do with your family!
