The “beer halls” of WWG are three massive heated tents with full bars and large-scale stages. This is where the magic happens. Step on in to sip libations, warm up and listen to the best in up-and-coming roots and bluegrass artists.
The Coffee Depot is located adjacent to The Soap Box Stage, serving espresso, chai tea, hot chocolate, cappuccinos, hot whiskey drinks, and more.
Warm-up in the heated Depot Coffee bar with our new 2023 coffee partner, Bluegrass Coffee Co.! Located in Old Towne Arvada, Colorado, Bluegrass Coffee Co. began brewing small batches in the summer of 2020, taste testing for quality and consistency. The result was small batches of unique flavors, with a local and global community in mind. We can’t wait for you to taste Bluegrass Coffee Co at WinterWonderGrass for the first time.
Every day from 2-9 pm the WWG Kids Zone activates with face painting, hula hooping, and all kinds of fun activities. The heated tent is located next to the entrance to the VIP tent. No unattended children, please.
Show up to any of the bars and let the tenders know you are the responsible party and receive a free soda or regular coffee. You can pick up a wristband at the box office, but if you forget, just ask for the complimentary beverage, we trust you.
