Wine

Wine in Estes Park.

A downtown tasting room pouring Colorado-grown flights, a chocolate and wine pairing up at the Stanley, and a wine festival in the park most summers. Then a quiet deck at 7,522 feet to open whatever you carried home.

The Tastings

Flights and pairings.

Estes Park keeps its wine small and local. The town's tasting room sits right downtown, and the Stanley adds a pairing experience worth the drive up the hill.

  • Snowy Peaks Winery: family-run tasting room on Moraine Avenue, flights of Colorado-grown wines plus mead, cheese, and chocolate (site)
  • Stanley Chocolate Factory: a guided chocolate and wine tasting on the Stanley Hotel campus, handcrafted chocolates paired with curated wines, 21+ (site)
  • 217 Wine Bar: wines by the glass in the Stanley's historic Music Room
  • Several downtown bottle shops for something to carry back to the deck

The Festivals

Three chances a year.

Time it right and you can catch a festival. The big one pours outdoors in Bond Park in August, and the season bookends it with a holiday pour in November and a wine and chocolate pairing in February.

  • Estes Park Wine Festival: outdoors in Bond Park each August, 21+
  • Holiday Wine Festival: Colorado wineries and holiday shopping, late November
  • Wine and Chocolate Festival: local wineries and chocolatiers, February
  • See the full Estes Park events calendar

Make it a whole crawl: the breweries and the distilleries are minutes away too.

The Basecamp

Bring the bottle home.

The best part of a tasting day is the deck at the end of it. The lodge sits ten minutes above downtown on a private ridge, with a wraparound deck, a wood-burning fireplace, and 360-degree mountain views. Pour a glass, and let the town go quiet below you.

  • Ten minutes above downtown Estes Park and its tasting rooms
  • Wraparound decks and 360-degree views to open a bottle to
  • Sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms, room for the whole group
  • Book direct for the best rate, always
