Wright wins art contest for this year’s Winefest

2025 Winefest art winner

“Blissfully Satisfied” by Erin Wright was voted the winner by the public to represent the 34th Annual Colorado Mountain Winefest presented by Fisher’s Liquor Barn. Second place went to “Colorado Dancin’” by Wendy Videlock, and “Harvest” by Marilyn Wilcox placed third.

Wright said she was thrilled when she found out she was one of the finalists for the Colorado Winefest Art Contest, so winning it was an even bigger thrill.

“This is the first art contest that I have ever entered, so this is new territory for me,” she said. “I am a bit of a gypsy with an art and education background. Previously, I taught in Alaska, and now here in the Grand Valley. I am looking forward to working with CAVE (Colorado Association for Viticulture & Enology) this year and am so honored that my artwork has been chosen to represent the winefest.”

Wright will receive a cash prize of $700 and “Blissfully Satisfied” will be featured on wine totes, T-shirts, and posters, as well as local and nationwide print and digital marketing for this year’s Colorado Mountain Winefest. Prints of “Blissfully Satisfied” will also be available for purchase online at www.WineColorado.org and in the CAVE Office later this spring.
