  What a surprisingly great place to find In Winter Park. The tasting was$5 and we were supposed to get to taste 6 wines. But we ended up getting to taste 8. The owner was obviously very proud of his wines and it showed in the product.
  
  I was a big fan of the 2010 Syrah. They also had a blend called Grateful Red which was especially good. But there really wasn't a bad wine in the group - rare in a Colorado winery from the tastings I have done.
  
  Bottom line: A must stop when visiting Winter Park.

  Over priced wine tasting... I have been to many wine tastings from Missouri to California and never been taken advantage of like we did here.
  It was $25 per person for a tasting and it didn't apply to your purchase!?!  
  
  Don't let him take advantage of you on the reserve wine tasting as he did with us.
  
  NOT RECOMMENDED FOR A  WINE TASTING!!!

  I'll be the first to admit that we went here for the giggles, I mean wine in Winter Park. Really? I honestly had no clue that halfway decent wine was grown in Colorado. Who would have thought?! But seriously, this wine isn't bad, it's actually quite good. The tasting room is sizable and comfortable. The young man behind the bar was knowledgeable and personable. 6 wines $5 isn't too shabby either.

  A winery in Winter Park, I thought this was a bad joke when I first saw it.  Seriously, what is a winery doing in the high mountains of Colorado.  I reluctantly agreed to stop in here and boy oh boy am I glad I did.  I walked in expecting to taste some pretty bad wine, but to my surprise the wine was actually really good.
  
  For $5 you get a tasting of 6 different wines, two white, three red and their port.  The first that we tasted was the Riesling and it was not as sweet as some Rieslings which in my opinion is a good thing.  The next was a Chardonnay I think which was not my cup of tea, but I don't think I've really found a Chardonnay that is.  Next up was the Syrah, which was true to it's varietal.  This was probably my favorite of the day and we walked away with a bottle.  The Cabernet Sauvignon was a full bodied Cab that would go great with a nice steak and we also took a bottle home which we've already drank.  The Merlot was a pretty typical Merlot, which is much like Chardonnay for me.  The last wine we tasted was the port, and it was not your typical cough syrupy port.  Most port is made with brandy, but they make theirs with something else (it slips my mind right now) and it helps to give it a very distinct flavor which you will recognize as port, but this is not your dad's port.
  
  The gentleman who was working the shop was not the owner, but he was pretty knowledgeable and was not afraid to say he didn't know the answer to a question when it was posed which we appreciated very much.  Next time we are back I know we'll be stopping by again!

  I am, what you would call a Wino.
  I absolutely love wine.
  red.white. anything.
  Now, I may sound like an alcoholic to you, but I am not. Just a sucker for good wines in mountain towns. :)
  
  Located in downtown Fraser, this winery is quaint, cute and just what the doctor ordered on a weekend trip to the mountains. The wine is excellent. Full of flavor, full bodied, some light and others not. all around-very good. The staff and winemakers are very knowledagble about their products, only increasing my interest. The cost? Only $5 to sample 6 different wines, all decently priced as well. I loved their white selections and one red, being my favorite...that i can't remember right now!
  
  cute.
  affordable.
  tastey.
  
  what more could you want?

  This small winery makes all of its wine onsite from Colorado and California vineyards. They've got adorable metal wine holders to purchase, and their wine is very good. IMHO The sommelier doing our tasting was very knowledgeable and friendly. Sometimes they have live music; you can rent their space for a small party. The tasting only cost $5 a person... to taste 6 wines, that's a pretty good price! They are open most days of the year! The bottles are reasonably priced for the amount of work they put into them. Crisp Chardonnay and delicious Port.
