North Fork Valley Wines

Now that locals have been growing wine grapes for nearly a decade, the number of wineries in the North Fork Valley of Western Colorado is continuing to grow. Quite a few Colorado Organic Wines are now available, a truly exciting development. It looks like Western Colorado’s high desert climate - cool nights, hot days, cold winters, hot dry summers - are perfect for developing the rich flavors that make our West Elk region’s wine unique. I recently completed work on the Jack Rabbit Hill website - their operation combines a biodynamic (and Certified Organic) vineyard, with a modern, small batch winery. The have also partnered with local growers to create a line of fine organic brandies and other drinks via their Peaks Spirits brand.
