Taste the Wine

Our expanding wine community is delicious proof that this really is a different side of Colorado. We are one of only two designated viticulture areas in the state, named the Grand Valley AVA, and are the most productive by far. Agriculture has been thriving here since the 1880s thanks to our unique climate and fertile growing conditions, and now that includes 23 wineries and counting.

Our vintners produce many varieties of wines, both sweet and dry, and are renowned for unique wines that use local fruits in the recipes. Tasting Rooms are open all year, located throughout the Grand Valley and can be toured on bicycle, horse-drawn carriage, or with a luxurious limo tour by appointment. It’s an incredible opportunity to relax near the base of the Grand Mesa, the world’s largest flattop mountain, and enjoy the view to the west of Colorado National Monument.

Join us every September for Colorado’s largest wine festival, voted best wine festival in the nation by USA Today’s 10Best website.

Grape growers’ paradise.
