Colorado may be a landlocked state, but that doesn’t mean sailing is off the table. That is, miniature remote-control sailing where the boats can literally fit on a table. Located in Paonia in the West Elks AVA (American Viticultural Area), Azura Cellars & Gallery is more than a winery. Yes, they make incredible wines including cabernet franc, merlot, pinot noir and pinot gris, but the winery also doubles as an art gallery and the home of a yacht racing club.
If you wonder what makes Colorado unique and special in the wine grape growing world, give this excellent 4:20 minute audio a listen. Discusses how the West Elks AVA is distinctive from climate, terrain, and associated micro-climates to geological and elevation attributes. Also covers several noted wines and winemakers. Worth the listen!
After many years of perfecting their skills, Cindie Sorensen of Zenzen Gardens and Alfred Eames Cellars have joined their visions together to bring the newest wine tasting room to the North Fork Valley.
