About Us
Our Story
"I left the oceans for the mountains, and traded a cozy retirement to work the land, grow grapes, and make wine."
Cyndi and Brian surfaced in Paonia June 2015, escaping the rat race and finding the "community" they sought in the North Fork Valley. They immediately commenced their "endless endeavor" on their 7 acre farmette, pursuing gardening, grape-growing, and winemaking dreams.
Our Land
Our winery and vineyard is located on Pitkin Mesa one mile from downtown Paonia in the North Fork Valley. Amidst the beautiful West Elk Mountains, the 360 degree view encompasses the Valley, Mt. Lamborn and Land's End, Gunnison Mountain, The Raggeds, and nearby Black Canyon and Grand Mesa. Our south facing vineyard features fertile clay loam, kept lush in the high desert by Fire Mountain Canal irrigation.
Our Wines
Where the Old World meets the New! Our young vineyard features the latest varieties of cold hardy North American hybrid grapes (Petite Pearl, Traminette, Crimson Pearl, Verona, and Itasca) that promise New World wines challenging the quality of Old World vinifera. Combined with vinifera wines produced from Colorado's Grand Valley AVA grapes. we offer a wide variety of wines and styles that provide an unmatched wine tasting experience..
