The ambiance was woodsy, but appropriately modern for a mountain restaurant. The food is a special find in the region. Wines of Colorado makes a deliberate effort to make the quality, home-made nature, curated ingredients, and deliberate menu work for everyone. It's apparent in not only the food but their namesake (libations).... Well done! I had the arancini's and Bzuffalo meatloaf. Delicious! I will be back and thank you for the experience. ***I am ashamed for not taking pics. Family outing and it didn't occur to me. ***

If average was a restaurant, this place would be the poster child. I only give it 3 stars because of the service, the food was a solid 1-2 stars. Bland, as average as it gets. The chicken in the chicken tacos had no texture. It was mush! So bad. The special chicken fried steak was exceedingly average at best. The waitress, Erica, was awesome, and that was the highlight. The food was just awful to average. Drinks were good though, because they came out of a can. So disappointing, we really were excited to try it. Just keep driving by it, up or down the mountain there is way better offerings in the area. Ambiance was awesome, right in the stream with humming birds flitting about.

August 6, 2026 - Penrose, CO…read more We spotted the roadway sign for this winery on our way to the Royal Gorge Bridge and decided we had to stop on the way back. So glad we did. We were warmly welcomed, along with our pup, and decided to do a tasting. For just $5, we got five 1-ounce pours of our choice. They have a nice selection of wines, a comfortable tasting room, and a super-friendly host. Of course, tasting led to shopping, and three bottles of wine came home with us. The wines were very reasonably priced. A fun, welcoming little winery that was well worth the stop.

Charming Countryside Winery!…read more What a find! This place is like if the show, Cheers, took place at a winery. The endearing personalized wine glasses hung on the wall, each with the "nickname" of its patron took this place to a new level for me. We got to witness a local couple come in for a sip. The owner grabbed their wine glasses and was ready to pour their choice before they barely got through the door. The wine selection had something for any wine lovers passion. I am partial to a sweet wine and enjoyed quite a few of their offerings. We got a charcuterie board to munch on with our wine tasting and it was plentiful and filling. The owner is very personable and knows his stuff. Will be making this winery a regular stop when I come to Colorado to visit family.

August 4, 2026 - Manitou Springs, CO…read more A lovely little find tucked just off Main Street! It was quite crowded downtown, and we were ready for a break from the hustle and bustle, so discovering this winery was a treat. We settled onto the outside patio with our pup (dog-friendly!) and immediately relaxed. We did a tasting and enjoyed a glass of wine--four tastes plus a glass for just $15--and ordered a meat and cheese plate to share. We lingered over our wine and food and enjoyed some friendly conversation with the owner and his son. We left with 3 bottles to enjoy later. Definitely a great spot to escape busy Main Street.

Weather was nice, so we sat outside. Service was great - actually I think it was the owner. We sat here quite a while and weren't run off!

Tee shirts with a wine cork that said "screw it" We laughed all the way home with our purchases!

It's just an order at the counter and sit outside type of place - so fairly casual, but they were celebrating their 25th anniversary so had some fun deals going on.

We also enjoyed the 1 year aged cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese paired with the 34 degree crisp chips! The staff were super friendly and generous on their pours haha and quick to get us whatever we needed. We loved it so much that we went two days in a row and I will stop by here every time we are close to Canon City.

Now, word to the wise, a friend of mine and I came here after a hike - the BEST time to stop into any winery :) - It was Sunday around 1pm and every table outside was completely booked and we had two dogs with us, so we had to sit outside. We were almost out of luck, but thankfully one reservation did not show, so after a short wait, they seated us right by the stage. All of the staff were friendly and helped us get settled in, even offering a dog water bowl and little dog yoga mats so they would be comfy on the gravel. We ordered a flight - 6 tastes for $15, highly recommend and we treated ourselves to a post-hike baked brie that was perfect. We found out that if you order three bottles of wine to take home your tasting is free, so naturally... :) I will call ahead and make a reservation next time so we can be seated right by the river. Aspen Peak has such a lovely chill vibe and delicious reds whites and rosés!

I think we were the only patrons at the time. Our server Elizabeth was very friendly and attentive. We were not planning on tasting any wine as we were on a road trip but she mentioned the tastings were small so decided to share a flight. We chose reds. The wine was primarily sweet so not our preference but it was fine. My husband ordered THE SANTA FE / 22 Scrambled eggs, roasted potatoes, bacon, onions and pork green chili. It was quite tasty. I will say $22 for a single burrito with no sides is pricy. I ordered SMAVO TOAST / 18 Two over-medium eggs seasoned avocado on freshly toasted artisan bread accompanied by blistered tomatoes. The eggs were cooked perfectly but the avocado was just spread on a thick sourdough roll cut in half. It was way too thick and needed toasted. It had 3 cherry tomatoes cut in half. It just needed more seasoning and maybe some micro greens or something added. And again, $18 for just avocado toast is just too expensive. However, we were very impressed the chef came out to ask us about our meal and asked for feedback. I provided feedback on the SMAVO and she was super receptive. Very nice and professional. This place looks like it has great reviews so I think their main menu must be on point. I appreciate the customer service!

From the outside, if you didn't know better in the middle of winter, you would probably think you're in the wrong spot. Once inside, we were warmly greeted and invited to try as we went along. Lots of knowledge stood behind that bar and we all ended up with something we enjoyed. There are multiple comfy spots to settle in and plenty of options to work through if you want to stay for a bit. Shoot some pool. Play cards. Just chat. You'll want to hang out for a few, maybe indulge in a soft pretzel and grab another cider to go.
