THE FRONT RANGE IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF GROWING INDUSTRY
Two years ago, the prestigious Food & Wine magazine heralded Colorado’s Grand Valley as “the new Sonoma.” The region around Palisade and Fruita is dotted with respected wineries. But those glass-swirling wine experts are likely to check in on the Front Range on their next Colorado excursion.
That’s because the urban corridor also produces top-quality wines alongside our world-famous craft beers and solid spirits. Because Colorado has attracted so many creative types in the libations world, there are a bevy of wines that are racking up awards and recognition around the world.
Here are just a few of the great wine and mead producers on the other side of the Colorado Rockies—Deep Roots, Silver Vines Winery, Vinnie Fera Wine, Blanchard Family Wines, Slaymaker Cellars, and Carboy Winery.
