Key
Mile High Wine Shop
A sun-drenched corner of RiNo's warehouse district where natural wine meets mountain culture. Owner Sarah Chen (ex-Frasca Food & Wine) has converted a 1920s brick machine shop into the city's definitive natural wine destination—complete with climbing holds on the walls and a patio that fills with cyclists fresh from the Platte River Trail. The list champions Colorado's Grand Valley AVA alongside cult producers from the Jura, Loire, and high-elevation Mendoza. Think aromatic whites from Palisade peaches country, skin-contact Roussanne from the Western Slope, and pét-nats that pair with altitude. The food menu is pure Colorado: bison tartare with local juniper, green chile posole with natural orange wine, and charcuterie from Cure Farm. It's where tech workers in puffy vests mingle with climbing dirtbags, everyone sharing flights before heading to Red Rocks. The shop offers "14er Packs"—mixed cases designed for post-hike sipping—and hosts weekly "Trail to Table" tastings featuring foraged mountain ingredients. Dog-friendly, bike-friendly, and altitude-adjusted (they pour slightly smaller glasses at 5,280 feet—trust us, you'll feel it).
