Things to do / Travel Guide
“Mountain wine” arouses the following idealistic images: lofty sloping vineyards, rocky and pebbly soil rich with minerals, mountain streams as cold and clear as the Chardonnays, ebullient and nectarous Rieslings, and blackberry-courant Merlots. You can experience all this, and more, at the wineries of the eastern Colorado and Wyoming Rockies. They've been making wine in the region for over 100 years. The four major winery areas in the region are in the Denver area, as well as in the areas west, north, and south of Denver.
Balistreri Vineyards - Denver Area
A former vegetable garden in the city of Denver has become a vineyard- The Balistreri Vineyards, open for tours and tastings. Hours are limited, so call in advance.
Boulder Creek Winery - West of Denver, Colorado
New on the scene, the Boulder Creek Winery is a small, family-run operation where you are welcome to stop in for a self-guided tour and taste whatever is in the barrels.
Valley of the Wind - North of Denver, Colorado
The Valley of the Wind winery tasting room is located in Estes Park. Enjoy their Merlot while taking in the view of the Rockies from the balcony.
