Headquartered in New York City, Wine Spectator is a lifestyle magazine that covers all things wine—from reviews and launches to vineyards, popular culture, and industry news. In late June, Wine Spectator announced the winners of its 2025 Restaurant Awards, honoring an assortment of culinary destinations around the world that also provide notable wine programs. This year’s list included 92 establishments housed in the state of Colorado, many of which accommodate groups and private events.
“A wine list is a restaurant’s identity in print, and this year’s Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards winners reflect both deep knowledge and a passion for discovery,” says Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Wine Spectator, in a prepared statement. “I proudly present the 3,811 restaurants worldwide that earned a Restaurant Award this year—we raise a glass to all our winners.”
