Ready for a summer wine tasting? It's time to wear that wine tasting shirt!

Take your taste buds on a world tour of Sauvignon Blanc on June 18 at the Alliance. From the flinty, mineral-driven wines of France's Loire Valley to the vibrant, fruit-forward styles of New Zealand, Chile, and California, you'll experience firsthand how climate, soil, and winemaking shape what's in your glass.

We hosted our very first pottery workshop at the Alliance! 🏺Un grand merci to the incredibly talented for guiding everyone through the pinch pot process while weaving in pottery vocabulary in both French and English. Every single seedpod vessel turned out amazing. Now they’re off to be glazed and fired, and we can’t wait to see them in their final form!

What an unforgettable evening! Last Friday, we celebrated 129 years of the Alliance Française de Denver at our annual fundraising Gala, Soirée Cannes, held at the History Colorado Center, and truly, there was no better place to mark this milestone. As a cornerstone of French language and culture in Denver for over a century, the Alliance is part of this city's history, and it felt only right to celebrate within its walls.

Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised over $30,000, more than ever before. This is a reflection of your passion for our mission and your belief in what we are building together.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this night possible. To our sponsors, donors, members, and friends who gave so generously, thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. A special thank you to Omar-Pierre Soubra, Honorary Consul of France in Colorado, for his wonderful words of support, to Chip Horne, our longtime member, for speaking so beautifully on behalf of our community, and to our Board of Directors for sharing the vision for our new cultural center. Un grand merci to Beth Schneider for capturing every magical moment of the evening.

This night reminded us of how much we can accomplish together. See you next year! À l'année prochaine! 🥂
