Shared Tastes @ Burns Family Artisan Ales TapHouse
Tuesday night plans? Sorted. Burns Family Artisan Ales and Thistle & Mint team up for a pairing soirée that’s all about sharing. It’s an open-seating affair from 6 PM to 8 PM, where $40 gets you and a pal a shared appetizer, dessert, and a flight of finely crafted ales. Each month’s menu is a surprise, evolving with the seasons and local produce. December saw duck confit apps and Swedish pancakes with preserved cherries desserts, but who knows what January will bring? Find more details on Eventbrite.

Conservation Conversation and Cocktails: A Pecha Kucha Talk @ Denver Museum of Nature and Science
Think fast, drink slow at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science’s Pecha Kucha night. It’s where conservation chats meet the clock.

Chocolate & Wine Pairing @ The Chocolate Therapist
Head to Littleton for a sweet pairing class that’s part Willy Wonka, part sommelier school. Learn the bean-to-bar journey of chocolate, the art of tasting it like a pro, and then the magic happens: pairing four different wines with two clean, pure artisan chocolates made for sipping and swirling with wine. Altogether: 4 wines, 10 chocolates, and a whole lot of yum. Limited to 14 lucky learners, tickets are $40 on Eventbrite.
Saturday, January 19th
Bakery Factory Tour @ Rebel Bread
Ever wondered how a croissant gets its flaky goodness or what gives sourdough its soul? Community bakery and bread school responsible for some of the finest loaves in town, Rebel Bread’s inviting you to peek behind the bakery curtain. Join founder Zach for a tour that’s part magic, part science, all delicious. Watch as the Rebel team wrangles dough into artisanal masterpieces, with bread samples and pastry treats to keep your taste buds entertained. Got burning baking questions? Here’s your chance for a home-baking Q&A, plus you’ll leave with your very own sourdough starter and the know-how to use it. Secure your ticket on Eventbrite.
Every Sunday in January
Winter Truffle and Caviar Experience @ Margot
Sundays in January just got a glam upgrade at Margot. Think caviar that’s as hybrid as Denver’s weather and winter truffles with more character than a ski slope. And hey, there are bubbles too, because life’s too short for just water. Fork out $215 per person and make your Sundays sparkle. Reserve your spot via Tock.
