Specialties

Transcend the mundane… Discover Water 2 Wine. The ultimate wine experience.

Don’t settle for plain old «wine store» selections. Water 2 Wine is an actual operating winery where all of our wines are fermented on site. We buy grapes from only the finest vineyards. With access to more than 100 wines from 13 countries, we satisfy your cravings for world class wines. Try it before you buy it at Water 2 Wine, where all of our wines are available for tasting every day.

Start your wine tasting experience by visiting any of our wineries to define the likes of your palate. Then choose wine by the glass to sit and enjoy in the winery, by the bottle with our label, or craft a batch (28 to 30 bottles) of your own personalized wine with a custom label. It’s less work than you might think, a ton of fun and surprisingly affordable! Plus, all of our wines offer significantly lower sulfites and other chemicals so that most everyone can enjoy our wines without negative side effects.

History

Established in 2007.

Water 2 Wine Denver was established in 2007 by Derek Handley. Derek decided to close the business in 2012 for a career with more regular hours for his family. The rather sprawling Sample family (Samples, Smarts, Gists, and Martins) had been long-​time customers, as well as part time employees could not willing to see our favorite source of wine close, so we bought the winery and have operated it since August 2012. Deb Sample, the matriarch, is the main proprietor and has made it her goal to make the winery as warm, friendly, and welcoming as possible with more seating and live music events.

Business Owner

The whole family loved this winery as customers. Deb and the rest of us truly love interacting with our customers and feeling more like hosts of a party, than business owners.

Fine service, just didn’t enjoy any of the wines. I did a tasting and tried 6 different reds. I’m glad that it was a groupon deal, because it was very affordable. I wish I had loved the wines because it’s so close to me! Bummer.

Place is great for the ambiance & when not busy the conversation. Staff was friendly & helped by making suggestions based on what we said we liked. They were very good. Also offered comparison. Lots of wines to choose from. Staff will help if it’s overwhelming. Good place to figure out what you like. Overall a super experience making it a memorable evening to say goodbye to a dear friend. Highly Recommend!!!

Very comfortable setting to try new wines without buyers remorse. I had always stuck to the types that I knew and enjoyed, but the tasting opportunities here allowed me branch out and try more. Now my list of favorites has grown. Thank you for that! I also enjoyed how friendly the staff were and the setting. You can sit around a table for great conversation (mostly about the interesting variances of wine) or snuggle in on a couch for that relaxing «ahhh» moment of the day (which we all need). Impressive Wine Club options as well. I’m IN.

I LOVE Water2Wine! Being Australian, I just love to drink wine, and these folks know how to make great wine, cheers! Deb and Chip are the owners of this boutique winery, they are both wonderful hosts and event planners. We gathered our neighbors and friends on Friday night, drank some great wines and Rocked out to OMR (Old Man Rock) local band from SouthPark Littleton!
We’ll be back for sure! Cheers, Jan Baer

Water 2 Wine is such a fun place! Their wine tasting is unbelievable — basically all you care to taste for an hour and a half. Our server was so knowledgable, attentive and personable (I forgot her name but I think she mentioned she is the owner’s granddaughter). She did such a wonderful job. They have so many wines and many were pretty good. Would definitely recommend as a fun place for a group date or to catch up with friends!

What a fantastic experience!!! We had a group of 10 females on a very busy night for Water to Wine and we were treated like we were the only table there (even when it was so busy the staff couldn’t take a sec). The experience of tasting so many different bottles of delicious wine and the interactions with the family of the business, well exceeded our expectations. We have know found a new place to meet. This staff and winery is a very special place that everyone should check out.

Super cute place. It’s family run and it feels like that. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. They have a crazy big list of wines to choose from. We did the 2 hours of unlimited tastings and barely made a dent in the list! The family makes and bottles all of the wine there.

We met up with friends who had a Groupon/​Living Social deal for a wine tasting. I’d previously gone to a different location and tried some of their wines and thought they were ok, but not great. My opinion was pretty much the same here. Since I have a better idea of the types of wines I like now more so than 3 years ago, I hoped for a better experience.
The location is in a strip mall nearby Luigi’s Bent Noodle. This is helpful, since there isn’t food available. You can bring in your own food or order from Luigi’s and it’s brought over and served inside Water2Wine. On a Friday night, they had live entertainment, which was ok. Not my favorite style of singing, but it added ambiance and the majority of the crowd there seemed to enjoy it.
When we were first seated, our server was a little slow with coming around in a timely fashion, as we unlimited tastings. I was very judicious with my tastings and if I didn’t like them, immediately dumped it, so I felt fine trying a number of them. However, I think the wine is mediocre. I didn’t find anything outstanding. Even though I took home a free bottle of wine from the Groupon, we didn’t think it was great. However, there is a huge variety of wines, so plenty to choose from and you may find things that work for you.

Love this place. We mad the wine for our wedding here. Just a heads up Unilocal has the hours incorrect. It doesn’t open until 2:00.

This place is adorable! Super friendly staff & family run business. They are very knowledgeable & ask just the right questions to help you try wines that are suitable for your preferred taste. It was something different to do locally that I did not expect outside of experiences I only had at vineyards. It is a fun atmosphere to try different wines & relax.

What a great new find in the Centennial area! I was looking for wineries and was shocked to discover this one only 2.5 miles from my house (walking distance… yay!). Wasn’t sure what to expect so got some friends together to try it out. We walked in at around 7:00 on Friday night and they were packed (only one empty table). They had live music and a great vibe going on. We sat down and as luck would have it Josh was assigned to be our waiter, ‘sommelier’. What a great stroke of luck, Josh was fantastic with such a great energy and personality. He helped us navigate our tasting and the three of us worked our way through white wines, sweet wines (my friends raved about the peach and the strawberry ‘naked hot-​tub’ wine), sangria, old vine zins, merlot and temprannillo. I was sold immediately on the wine… and my friends were sold on the incredible experience (and both agreed we needed to come back… often!). I ended up joining the wine club (how could I not) for only $ 24 a month (which comes with two bottles of wine a month, a free glass of wine each month and several other amazing options) and my friends ended up agreeing we would come back every 2nd Wednesday to recreate this experience.
Seriously people if you work in a stressful environment or are just ‘done’ dealing with stressful people this place is such a great place to come and relax. It is family owned and operated and they are all so happy and relaxed and bring you wine! I could not be happier with this new find. Thanks Josh. Can’t wait to come back and taste again.

Absolutely love this place! Great wines and excellent customer service. The Amazon Local deal brought us here. 2 hours of unlimited samples. Absolutely loved the Super Tuscan. Bought a bottle. It’s BYOF, so bring your own cheese and crackers. Will definitely return. Not enough great things to say about this place.

I absolutely LOVE water 2 wine! I went with a travelzoo voucher that gave us a 2 hour wine tasting and a bottle of wine for up to $ 26. Not only did we get our money’s worth of wine but all of them were delicious! They have such a huge selection of wine that everyone will find something they just absolutely love. If you like red wine then you absolutely must try the spanish Tempranillo, it’s bold in flavor while being light and crisp.
The staff here is all extremely friendly and all of the wines are made in house, you can definitely tell. The wines are low in sulfites as to avoid giving you the terrible wine hangover. If you are in the area this is an absolute must try!

I was completely surprised at how much fun this wine making and tasting experience was. You would never know from the outside how cute it is on the inside. When you walk in the smell of sweet wine and the coziness is quite inviting. We went with friends for his birthday and we all loved it!
I was impressed with the taste and texture of the wine. They offer an exceptional selection of whites and reds. Some of our favorite whites were the Australian Chardonnay and the California Viognier. The Tempranillo was exquisite. I can’t leave out the ports that I fell in love with. The Carmel Brûlée and the Black Forrest were my favorites.
This is a family owned and run establishment and I felt like they did a good job serving us and making sure we had everything we needed. They brought around cheese and crackers and then chocolates to have with our ports. After 2 hours of tasting as much wine as we wanted they showed us how to make wine. You literally start with water and then they took us through the entire process of making the wine. I highly recommend this fun experience! If you like wine you will have a blast learning how to make it.

We bought a deal recently for tastings for two for two hours, plus a bottle of wine. We rolled up on a Saturday and were pleased to find they had a fundraising event going on as well. They still honored our deal which was very nice!
Service was beyond friendly and we had multiple servers throughout our visit. It appears to be a family affair, or at least was that day. They were all amazing and totally made our visit that much better.
On to the wine. The menu is massive and tastings allow you to try anything an unlimited amount of times for 2 hours. We kept ourselves in check and limited how much we tried but we were not disappointed. The lower sulphates etc ensured that I didn’t end up with my usual lovely booze rash and my husband didn’t get heartburn.
Their prices in general are extremely reasonable and we were very impressed with their monthly membership options. We enjoyed ourselves so much that I bought another deal before we left. I wouldn’t hesitate to return or recommend this lovely shop!

My boyfriend and I went there on a whim after a long day of hiking. It was the perfect atmosphere because it was nice, but also casual. We did the 6 wines for $ 10
tasting and we loved every wine we tried. One of the owners, Josh, took the time to explain to us which wines he thought we would like based off of what we know of our tastes, and he was spot on. We ended up buying a few bottles to take home with us because the wine was that good! We are only in Colorado for a week, but we will definitely make an effort to go back here!
It is also pretty neat that you can bring food in with you, or order food from the Italian restaurant next store and they will go get your food for you!
We really enjoyed this place and highly recommend it!

I’ve been here a few times, and we came in Saturday for a tasting. I came to learn that they recently changed owners, and are in the process of making new batches of everything. This is a small little wine making shop that has grapes crushed and then flown in for the wine to be made there. They offer everything from South America to South Africa and everywhere in between. Except for Antarctic wine. I have the hardest time finding that.
Our tasting was handled by Josh, and he was very friendly, and very upfront about his limitations when they came up, which wasn’t too often. And if he fell short on knowledge he got the answer we wanted quickly. He even went so far as to bring us each a little taste of candy that complimented a particular wine. We ran the full gambit of what was available, and had a very nice time.
It’s $ 15 per person for a sit-​down tasting, they invite you to bring food with you so you can eat while you drink. You can also have your own wine made for you by the batch, and they offer a wine club as well.
This is one of my favorite things about the new ‘hood, I see myself spending some time here!

Wow! I am shocked and appalled that I have not yet written a review for this fantastic little winery & tasting room.
This place has, by far, the most extensive wine tasting list in all of Colorado. I have wine-​o friends and non-​wine drinker friends and they have all found something they love here. My girly drinkers love the Black Raspberry Merlot & Cranberry Chianti and my red-​lovers fall for the heavier Spanish Tempranillo & Argentine Malbec.
You can drop in for a tasting for $ 10 (as I recall) and try anything you like. Or, the wine tasting is free if you make a purchase. And, their wine club is more than reasonable at just $ 30/​month which gets you two bottles and a free tasting & glass of vino when you show up to pick up your bottles, whoo hoo!
They have monthly parties here called «Wine Down Wednesdays» where you can do some wine tasting and enjoy appetizers & live music for just $ 15. We’ve also been to their grape stomping for charity which was an absolute blast.
If you get hungry while enjoying your vino, you can bring in your own snacks or you can order Itallian food from the restaurant next door and they will deliver!
You can even make your own wine here! Or, create your own label for a bottle (this was super fun, made a really unique bday present).
Seriously, I can’t say enough fantastic things about this place. Everyone who works here is laid back and nice and will answer all your questions (even my really, really dumb ones) with a big smile. Get thee to Centennial and check this place out!
