SALIDA, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- The Salida Wine Festival is teaming up with The Alliance as its nonprofit partner for the wine-forward June 27, 2026 event. After a 7-year hiatus, the Salida Wine Festival will be held in Salida's Riverside Park with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Alliance.

A nonprofit organization serving Chaffee, northern Saguache, and western Fremont counties since 1982, The Alliance empowers individuals beyond domestic and sexual abuse through services, education and social change. They work to create a safe place for people affected by violence.

According to Ursula Jones, Executive Director for The Alliance, "The funds raised from the Salida Wine Festival will support The Alliance's programs empowering survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and helping them to chart their own violence-free path forward. The Alliance provides a variety of services in Chaffee County and surrounding areas, including 24/7 help line, emergency safe housing, support groups and individual counseling, youth prevention education, forensic nursing, and more."

The first 800 attendees will receive a free Salida Wine Festival souvenir tasting glass and wine tote. General admission, group discounts, designated driver, and VIP tickets are available now.

Matthew Hexter, the Salida Wine Festival organizer, vintner and founder of Evergood Wines, explains, "To reboot the Salida Wine Festival, I first partnered with Salida's own Mountain Spirit Winery. Next, we reached out to The Alliance, asking if they'd be our nonprofit partner because of the good work they have been doing in Chaffee County for decades."
