THE BIG: Boutique winery located in Boulder and inside this industrial strip warehouse with a couple of other shops. Interior is very rustic with their wine equipment on display. Tasting room is small but cozy. Plenty of parking in the private lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I wanted to try Colorado wines and BookCliff was one of the recommendations. A wine tasting consisted of five tastings that you could pick and choose from their library. We got two whites and three reds. My favorite was probably the syrah and malbec, both had nice fruit aromas. The whites were alright, they were very short and lacked the body and crispness I typically enjoy with whites. THE FINAL BAMBOO: A wine tasting here was around $18 including tip. I do like how it's all Colorado fruit and definitely a must try if you're in the Boulder area. read more

If you're looking to be blown away by Colorado wine, make sure you stop at Bookcliff! Each varietal stands out, from the flavorful whites to the bold reds and surprisingly flavorful young port-style wines. Chris and Jordan were wonderful during our experience. The breadsticks and dip included in the tasting were a fun addition, as well! read more

Walked in with my mom and sister on a Saturday night after the CU game and was excited to taste some Colorado wines as we're not from the area but I love a good winery. We were greeted and we sat ourselves at the bar. It was quite busy so it took some time before we were helped by one of the staff. We said that we all planned to do the 4 wine samples for $15. Mary, the staff helping us, handed us three breadsticks and the tomato dip and I'm not sure if my sister's breadsticks had been someone else's or not but they were previously opened and she let Mary know and she quickly got her a new package. Now comes the weird part, there were two times where we were accused of stealing wine glasses - when Mary had simply took our glasses and forgot to bring them back to us with the samples requested. It was odd the first time, but the second time it felt targeted and embarrassing in the winery full of patrons. The most odd part was being asked by Mary if we were mothers of CU players.... Which we are not and my sister looks about 15 so not sure where this comment even came from as we were just visiting Colorado for a fun getaway weekend. This weird/uncomfortable experience made it hard for us to enjoy our tasting or ever recommend this winery to anyone visiting Boulder. read more

Enjoyed the wine tasting. A bit of a lack luster tasting room but the service was quality

Great service and a la carte wine tasting was perfect! Went early around 3pm so it wasn't busy which was nice. Great way to enjoy the mall!

Omg! Best time ever at the tasting room with Suz!! She's moving soon- so get in here! My friends used to bottle with John(the original owner)and had a fabulous time reminiscing. Suz is soooo knowledgeable and the wines are delicious. Come and enjoy! Thanks Suz!! read more

Cute place, small sit down place with a bar just off the road. The service was a little slow but nothing too bad. The deals are pretty good so you're looking for a place to hang with friends while drinking wine it's a good place to go (and you're reading this you're already doing more work than we did cause we were expecting a vineyard situation with greens/outdoorsy vibe). Good wine options! read more

Beautiful winery situated on a beautiful hill with great views! The staff was so friendly! Walked in while They were about to close but they still accommodated! The Malbec reserve was the winner for me and not to mention the beautiful sunset view that place offered! Thank you book cliff and the ladies who make that place special! read more

Bookcliff Vineyards provides a very personable wine tasting experience. Though it was extremely busy, the hostess was attentive and friendly. The wines we tasted were good, though sadly good Colorados wines tend to have a higher price point when to comparable west coast or European varieties and BookCliffs wines fit that experience for us. It is a very nice setting though and worth exploring! read more

My wife and I are not wine experts or even huge wine drinkers. For us it's about the outing and the experience and today was just trying out a local business and showing our of age daughter around Bolder. I'm going to say come visit this place. The staff know their product and their wine is nicely decently priced. Tastings prices of $8 are reasonable. Great looking place, very clean and great selection of dry and sweet wines. They have cheese and prosciutto plates for snack. Come visit this place read more

Very expensive wine-not that great. Went in for a glass of wine because I like to support local businesses. It was $12 for a very mediocre glass of wine. Very disappointed read more

Great service. Lots of wines to taste. Nice little tasting room. This winery is in a Stor-It-All type building a few doors down from Upslope Brewery. We dropped in for a tasting and had a fantastic time. As others have said, tasting is $5 to try 5 wines, but that $5 can be applied to a purchase of 2 bottles of wine. The other patrons were friendly and made recommendations to us. They had a good variety, something for everyone. We will definitely be back when in town! read more

It's hard to beat a personalized wine tasting for five bucks. They let you choose five selections from a list of eighteen 2010 through 2012 wines. If you buy two bottles, they apply your $5 towards the purchase. It's a great deal, and a pleasant way to spend half an hour to boot. The young lady (I'm sorry that I don't recall her name) who was working that afternoon was a good conversationalist and did not overhype the wines or pressure us to buy. She seemed forthright but diplomatic with her opinions. For the first half of our visit, we had her all to ourselves, but later a few other groups came in. I'm glad to see them doing well. A few selections were just so-so, but most were solid or better. Our favorites were the Cabernet Franc Reserve 2010 and the Muscat Blanc 2010. In the end, we bought only one bottle, the Muscat Blanc, because we were travelling home by air and luggage space was limited. But I would recommend BookCliff either for an enjoyable weekend afternoon activity or a local source for wines for your next gathering, or just stocking up your own supply. read more

I absolutely LOVED our visit to BookCliff. 5-taster wine flights for $5!! That price is hard to be ANYWHERE. And their wines are all VERY tasty! We tasted a couple of the whites, many of the reds and even two of the "dessert"/sweet wines and we were so impressed with everything. Justin, the assistant winemaker, was behind the counter helping us, willing to answer questions and speak Wino with us. He was so friendly and obviously, very knowledgeable. He really made our visit special. We never felt rushed. We left with two great bottles of wine (which are very affordable!): the Chardonnay and the Malbec. Because we bought two bottles of wine, one of our tasting fees was waived. How nice! I imagine this will become a regular stop for us. Just wonderful! read more

We love this winery on "winery row" in Boulder. The tasting is $5 for five pours and you get it back if you buy a couple bottles. We always have a good time, and our server was very helpful in choosing wines. My favorites here are their whites. I think they make the best Colorado white wines in the region. The Viognier ( I think I spelled that right) is delicious! I also like the Riesling. It has a fruity yet crisp taste. We will be back again. If you go to all three wineries and get a card punched, you get a free glass. read more

The rundown - 5 tastings for $5 - can be applied to a wine purchase if you so desire: 1- Chard was not my style, but I wont knock them for that. They seem to be subscribing to the non-malolactic model...typical, uneventful representation for the style. 2- 2009 Cab Franc was a little fragmented & "young". I did not get the impression that it would settle down quickly enough to sustain an overall quality. Initial taste is on the right track but it falls apart by the finish. 3- Ensemble was novel - would have a glass with food, but not buy a bottle. 4- Black Muscat - lacking full body, fruitiness expected with a black. Acidic, high vapor/hot and not very sweet. 5- there was a #5 but the Mr and I cannot recall what it was...even after trying to jog our memories using the website. - Muscat Blanc - a "complimentary offering" before we left - their most recent release, yet to be labeled - quite good. Smoothest wine I had tasted of the bunch. We were originally tasting 10 but we seemed to be ignored, the sommelier opting to serve the 3 other couples, passing us up often - so we closed out at 5 and left. Perhaps some of the other wines would show better, but I would not return or revisit a bottle based on what I tasted. read more

Love the wine and the people here. I try to support local when I can, so when I find their wines at stores in Colorado, I immediately choose them over others. The tasting room is quaint and I love taking visitors who come to town. Fun thing to do! read more

Great company outing making our own blend "Ain't no Malah-beck GURL! Learning, drinking, and bonding, it doesn't get batter than this! read more

Such a fun little spot! We came to taste a bottle we were purchasing for a friend who's a real wine connoisseur, and we were pleasantly surprised! The tasting room is lovely and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. CO wine really is good, the white blend was drinkable and interesting. We have found their wines in all the local stores and especially love the Malbec. I would definitely host a girl's afternoon here. read more

This place is wonderful. Their wine is diverse and all of them are smooth and the flavors developed. I highly recommend this winery. Come in for a tasting. I promise you will not be disappointed read more

Bookcliff Vineyards - Great place. Love their wine. - Wineries Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

What a fun and classy winery. This has been one of the best tastings I've had in the Boulder/Denver area. A friend and I came here on a Saturday and it wasn't crowded at all. We're trying to do tastings at all the Denver/Boulder wineries and this one is a gem. The place is nice/clean and very welcoming. The staff there are also very nice and informative. We met a Napa gal name Sues and she was great. My friend who is originally from the Bay area bonded with her and discussed wines. I highly recommend trying their wine. You won't be disappointed! read more

BookCliff is my most recent discovery on my Colorado wine journey. The tasting room moved from Pearl Street about a year and a half ago to a new location a bit out of town but toward Boulder Creek Winery if you wanted to hit up both. Augustina's is also nearby. My mom, brother, husband and I had the tasting room to ourselves and had an awesome afternoon. The tasting fee is $4 for 5 wines and can be refunded with the purchase of three bottles. Since we purchased a few, we paid just $12 for us all to taste (ie you don't get all the tasting fees refunded). Typically I see the fee refunded with just one bottle purchased, not three, however I got over this quickly when I realized I liked many of their wines and quite a few were the most affordable I've seen in Colorado. Most notable is their Tempranillo because you won't find that anywhere else in the state. I also learned that many of the other Colorado wineries like Balistreri, Bonacquisti and Boulder Creek purchase their grapes from the BookCliff vineyard in Palisade. I liked their cabernet franc and viognier while everyone in our group loved the muscat...not something any of us would normally go for. My favorites though were the white and red blends: red called Friday's Folly at only $10.99 and the white called Lucky Twenty at $9.99. Friday's Folly is a smooth but bright blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah...a perfect easy-drinking table wine for burgers and pizzas. I have no trouble finding more expensive wines to love but at this price I was excited. Lucky Twenty is a blend of the viognier, chardonnay and muscat. It's a tad sweeter than a typical white table wine but our pourer Ulla compared it to Conundrum and Evolution which are easy to find but more expensive. Seemed like a perfect hot summer night wine so we snatched up some bottles. Tiny but cute operation, and really worth a visit. read more

On a trip back from Estes Park this weekend I was inspired to check out a few Colorado Wineries. I followed my GPS to the address for BookCliff Vineyards. It is in a non-descript strip mall for lack of better terms. Don't let the location fool you. You walk in to a pleasant tasting room with a nice view of the fermenting tanks for a back drop. Ulla one of the owners was working the tasting room. She was so pleasant and accommodating. My bf and I were the only ones there at the time and she took us in back and gave a tour of their tanks, etc. The wines are delicious. I am not a huge fan of reds but they have a delicious light red called Friday's Folly which is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and syrah. It the perfect wine for me as I start trying more adventurous reds. Also a lot of Colorado wineries purchase their grapes from BookCliff. Their vineyards are located in Palisade but their is no tasting room there. All in all it was a thoroughly pleasant experience. Ulla even directed us to a great eatery in downtown Boulder. read more

A very nice little tasting room with a good assortment of both reds and whites. They are very friendly and bottles are very reasonably priced. I would recommend the Viognier for fans of any whites and the Ensemble for fans of the reds. read more

The staff at BCV are the best. Not snooty, but knowledgable and down to earth.

A rainy day turned in to a super fun day as we explored some wineries and breweries in Boulder. BookCliff definitely exceeded my expectations. They have a cute little place for tastings which looks in to the back where all the wine is being made. There were 2 other groups tasting, but we got plenty of attention with our group of 4 ladies. $5 for 5 tastings, we ended up buying six bottles so the tasting fees were waived. I loved the Cab Sauv, Tempranillo, and Ensemble. The Cab Franc was tasty as well and the Malbec. We got a mini tour of the back as well which was neat. There was a giant tub of malbec grapes that they had just started using. The lady in front and then wine maker in back were very friendly and didn't mind lots of questions! Can't wait to go back. read more

This was the third tasting room some friends and I stopped at after a morning hike outside Boulder. I must say I wish it had been our first and only. Not only was the wine better than either of the other two in the shopping center, the staff was much more friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The cost of the tasting was half of what the other two were charging at only $5. Don't let that fool you into double sampling through, the pours here were good size 1/4 glass pours, unlike the other two barely pouring an 1/8. Additionally, they were the only tasting room of the three that mentioned the punch card and free wine glass for visiting all three. Lastly, their prices for bottles were so reasonable. They are doing things right here at BookCliff. If/when I come back I think I will stick to this tasting room only. read more

We had a great time here. The staff person was so sweet, knowledgeable, and the wine was wonderful. Highly recommend visiting this winery if you are in the area. read more

Excellent wines, as well as service. I wasn't such a fan of Colorado wines, but Brookcliff winery definitely changed my thinking. I would highly recommend their tasting. 5 wines for $5 you can't find that anywhere else. They're doing an excellent job. read more

Great service and excellent wines. We enjoyed all the reds we tasted. We started enjoying their wines 3 years ago and have been very pleased. read more

Had the pleasure of tasting a few of the wines at a local farmers market. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and made excellent suggestions. I only tasted the reds and was so pleased. I loved that each wine seemed to have a story. I will certainly be stopping by the tasting room next time I am in town. read more

Absolutely wonderful wine. Their Malbec is my favorite, but as a self proclaimed wine-o I truly love their wine. The guy helping us with our wine tasting was a hoot and so knowledgeable. Can't wait to get my next bottle!! read more

The owners continually harassed me about fulfilling my wine club obligation and updating my credit card information. I said I would show up in person and pay cash literally THREE TIMES, but I was continually harassed to give them my credit card. I drove up and paid for my wine in cash. The unpaid, lady at the winery on Saturday was delight. Bottom line, good wine, HORRIBLE management. read more
