Denver Bachelorette Party Itinerary – Day 1
In Denver, your bachelorette weekend is kicked off by Arrival Day. So it is the best time for everyone to meet and start celebrating. Start with a restful group brunch as your celebration opener. So, how do you plan a conference?! Here are our tips to help.
Meeting at Denver Union Station
We landed in Denver on a Saturday morning with the whole group scattered between just rented wheels and getting rides from DEN to Union Station. While they waited for the band to assemble, we got coffee at a local cafe and marveled at its architecture and went around in circle chatting with each other.
It’s a large space that can have plenty of room for even big groups to gather together, and it is one exciting location where you could start your evening. In my role as maid of honor and bachelorette planner, I took the opportunity to put together some swag bags.
I bought cutesy bachelorette fanny packs and stuffed them with mints, hair ties, Advil & fruit snacks (for the bride). Passing out these bags was a nice teaser for the following activities.
Brunch at Snooze A.M. Eatery
Now while Union Station made for a lovely and inviting setting on our Saturday morning, the focus was actually turned to brunch at Snooze an A.M. Eatery which is located onsite. Upon arriving, we put our name in, with 4 of us there and the other arriving after me so that made it a group of five. They offer especially delicious Benedicts, and if you have a hard time choosing they also have Benny Duo where you choose any two different ones!
Go Wine Tasting: Balistreri Vineyards
As a group that is mostly wine enthusiasts traveling to the city of beer, we were also looking for local variety. Well a friend of mine who had lived in Denver once before told us about Balistreri Vineyards where complimentary tastings are standard.
Tours and tastings are free when we stopped at Rombauer, about 17-18 differnt wines to taste with healthy pours.
We spent the first night in an Airbnb and then met up, and showered before calling for our Uber to take us all out to the winery. This experience was every bit as dynamic. In addition to the free tastings (tipping is expected!) Balistreri Vineyard — they had free snacks, educational tours and a tasty looking menu of food You could buy. The perfect, laid back start to our weekend with friends. Balistreri, One of the Best Places for Wine Tasting in Denver.
Dine at Linger Eatuaries
Yes, I’ll admit it—Linger used to be Olinger Mortuaries but thanks to some truly inspired efforts, this weighty dining gem is now called Linger Eatuaries. The history, fused with the fine dining of today would make this an ideal location to celebrate a special event.
It’s a beautiful venue that is perfect for celebrating an event with dishes influenced from around the world and imaginative cocktails. And the Korean Fried Chicken bao buns are a highlight of the menu for an excellent reason and make for spectacular bites!
Menus range in size but if you’re not looking for a full meal, head to their rooftop bar. It’s more casual but still elegant, and the views can’t be beat. Finish your meal at the well-known Little Man Ice Cream stand just down the block for dessert.
Furthermore, during their brunch hours on Saturday and Sunday Linger provides you the chance to enjoy drinking bottomless mimosas. For when dinner isn’t in your plans, this is a fun and busy alternative. Linger, Either way an absolute must do for bachelorettes in town looking to enjoy a fine meal with the girls. Enjoy!
Denver Bachelorette Party Itinerary – Day 2
Day 2 is your opportunity to blend sightseeing with relaxation, making the most of a full day in Denver. If your group is up for a mix of activities, this is the ideal time to pack in a variety of experiences. Here’s how we filled our day:
Brunch at The Woods
Start the day off on a hotel rooftop sampling brunch at The Woods. Owing to the fact that we expected a lazy morning, having reserved a table for 12:00 meant there was plenty of time to kick back and enjoy some serious food before heading off on our afternoon plans. The place has a nice ambiance which is just perfect to relish in calm brunch while gearing yourself up for the day ahead
Yoga and Hiking with a Local
We were going all the way to Denver, so we figured why not explore outside of just eating and drinking as well. We carefully planned our hiking trip with the help of some research. It was the perfect chance to shake a leg and discover an untrodden area of town.
If you want to do this, pack lots of water and snacks ahead of time so that your hike is adequately fueled. Sunscreen – Never a bad idea to layer it on.
Dinner at Rioja
We took more pre-night out prep photos before letting a classic ‘bachelorette party photo session’ slip past us!! Using my Bluetooth tripod, we all fit into every picture and had fun changing poses- it was a blast!
And then we walked to Rioja for dinner. Nestled in Larimer Square (the location of our Airbnb) was Rioja.
We ultimately did a taster of every dish on the Rioja menu. An unforgettable meal to cap off a great last night in Denver. It has up there with some of the best restaurants I have ever been to. For the next night, we forwent a night on the town and did game night at home! A high-energy night out this was not and the low-key option of drinks with friends in more or less when she sweetly wanted to head home.
Denver Bachelorette Party Itinerary – Day 3
On the third day, our schedule was a bit abbreviated, as many of us had afternoon or evening departures. Despite the shortened timeline, we made the most of our morning together:
Brunch at Denver Biscuit Company
On the Monday morning pre-departure, we went to popular and crowded brunch place Denver Biscuit Company They have something for anyone who likes to eat and can be called a figure.
But for me, I’m not big on biscuits but thought they did it right with the Lola — a French toast chicken sandwich (no bacon). It was exceptional.
They also have games, so after munching we broke out a game of cards against humanity to kill time before heading to the airport.
Optional Brewery Tour or Airport Departure
Most of us departed shortly after brunch, but a few had later flights. If you have additional time, consider exploring Denver’s brewery scene, starting with Blue Moon Brewery. Denver is renowned for its excellent breweries, making it a worthwhile addition to your itinerary.
