It shows on Apple Maps they close at 8 & they close at 7. I drove all the way from Denver and had this place on my itinerary only for them to have incorrect hours listed. read more

Stopped in on a Saturday evening and loved it! We sat on couches in the back of the tasting room right next to a window where you could see the wines in their barrels. There was a great duo playing music and the server at the wine bar was very nice. We ordered half of a charcuterie board, a dry wine flight and 2 sweet wine flights. The prices were good and the portions were great. We enjoyed all the wines we tasted and the 1/2 charcuterie board was perfect for 3 of us. Perfect way to start a Saturday night and will definitely return! read more

Found this place on our way to Santa Fee. Glad we stopped in. The ref eines are amazing. If you buy a bottle the flight, which costs $10 is free. Don't like wine , no Problem they have Elevation beer that is located near the winery. I bought a bottle of Primitivität. Great tasting red wine. read more

I didn't think we would stumble upon a winery in Colorado, but of course, when you're traveling with my mom and I, there will be wine to drink. There was a musician setting up to play, when we arrived. We tried a variety of wine and they were good. We couldn't buy any of it though, since we were traveling cross country in a plane, but it was nice to see what the other side of the country had to offer in crushed grapes. Their dry and semi-dry wines were good. read more

OK, let's keep it real folks: Colorado wine is most definitely a thing, and winemakers have their work cut out for them here. The terrain/terroir isn't the easiest and the finished result isn't quite as refined compared to other well-known regions. Give the Coloradans some time and be open minded. Good things come to those who wait. Vino Salida was waaaaay better than I had expected. It's definitely not Santa Barbara or Sonoma quality... yet. But it's got its own local charm. The tasting room situated in the valley catches the eye from Highway 50 on the edge of town. Easy to park and very welcoming. A tasting of four wines is $5 per person or free if you buy a bottle. There are some sweeter varietals as well as honey mead, but if you look carefully at the tasting notes on the menu, there's drier wines to try as well. Younger wines do have a "bite" to them, which does mellow out with time. If you're tasting a 2017, understand that it needs another year or so to mature. Or at least an aeration device. I love that some of their wines come in a pouch, which ends up being more vino and an earth friendly vessel. We ended up taking home a bag of white wine and a bottle of red. The plan is to wait for spring temps for bag wine and let the red age just a wee bit. Such nice people working the tasting room and a very cool setting to give Colorado wine a chance. read more

Having never tried Colorado Wines before, but being a huge fan of the "grape" we decided to give this little place a shot and were really glad we did. A big shout out to fellow yelpers or we may have missed this gem. The tasting room was well appointed and the wine, mead, and vermouth choices were many. I'm a dry red guy so I limited myself to a glass of the Tenderfoot Stomp Merlot and it far exceeded my expectations. My fellow traveler enjoyed the tasting with 2 Whites,1 Red and a vermouth, and thought they were all top-notch. I believe that Colorado wines will be a thing, and are glad we got to experience them. Cant close out without acknowledging the service and information provided by Nina, which just improved the overall experience..!! Best of luck to VSWC !! read more

Vino Salida Wine Cellars - Good wine great service!! - Wineries Near Me - Poncha Springs, Colorado

Vino Salida was a great stop on our trip from New Mexico to Denver. I didn't drink any of the wine (I was the designated driver *sad face*), but my family did and said it was delicious. There was five of us and we were well taken care of, even though there was only one man working behind the counter and two other people in the shop. It was very spacious, and although it had a more sit-down area, everyone was around the counter. They also had outdoor seating. While the rest of my family tried the wines, my partner and I opted to play several rounds of Cornhole outside. It's a great addition to a winery and definitely made it more fun (I'm sure it would've been better with some wine in our systems!). The guy who helped my family out was super friendly, chatty, and attentive. The place was spotless, well decorated (but not overly decorated), and the view was really nice. read more

Stopped For a break on a long drive. So glad we did. Enjoyed a quick tasting and ended up buying two bottles of wine. Definitely would recommend this as a stop for a longer visit, there's a nice outdoor area with some games. read more

The inside is very cute and he staff is very friendly. That said, I found the wine sweet and rather average. Not that it was bad. It wasn't at all. I would not complain about the wine in any way if it was served to me. But I also didn't find it memorable in any way. If you're in the mood for a wine stop, this tasting room is decent. read more

Super relaxed and nice vibe. Live music, cozy feel and very friendly staff! The wines are well priced and pretty high quality. A nice spot to spend the afternoon! read more

A great little spot on a hill with outdoor seating available. The wines are interesting and worth a try. Everyone was very helpful and happy to be serving wine. We tried a couple apps and enjoyed them all. read more

Of the 2 flights we ordered, only 1 selection was drinkable. I can't remember ever going to a winery where the choices were, can you force yourself to drink it, or awful. read more

Good experience. Some good wines and great atmosphere. Wines are made from Colorado grown grapes. 2013 Tender Foot Stomp Syrah is great.

This place is awesome. Its perfect for just getting out and having a good time without over-doing it. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I always stop here while on an adventure in the mountains. read more

This is a flawless establishment. The wine is amazing and the food is incredible. Try the Manhattan it's a showstopper.

Had so much fun with a wine tasting here! Really nice live music on a Friday evening and good Colorado wine! Staff was wonderful as well.

Great experience! Nina definitely knows her wines! Great suggestions and service was impeccable. The wines are quite impressive as well! A definite must while in Salida!! read more

Delicious Colorado wines! Definitely worth the drive from Colorado Springs!! Jamie is very knowledgeable and super friendly. (Pretty good at karaoke as well ). read more

This locally-owned, locally-sourced winery is a great hidden gem in the Collegiate Peaks area! The owner, Steve, shows such care and attention to his craft. We had a wonderful, informative tour that was a lot of fun. The wines are all delicious and it was enjoyable tasting them and learning the nuances from Steve. This is a Colorado Winery worth a visit! read more

You would of been five stars had you had more than one person working a 2 hour happy hour. She was overwhelmed and gave slow service to all! Sad because this is one of our favorite stops on our trips to Colorado from Kansas especially with your new place! read more

The winery tour and tasting was a wonderful experience! Our guide Shelly was fantastic! She provided an educational yet fun and personal experience. Highly recommend this winery tour for learning about Colorado wine production, both the technical and the historical. The tour is more than worth the price given all that you get to enjoy! We genuinely enjoyed most of the wine offerings. Go!!Go!! Go!! read more

I just can't abide by charging for and/or limiting wine tastings. $5 for 6 tastings. They did offer taking the $5 off a purchase but two of us did a tasting and they only gave $5 off our purchase. Greedy. Cheap. However you want to label it. The wines were not very good either. So, if you don't like them, you should not have to pay for the tiny sips of them you did get. A lot of very bitter finishes, which means they have bad tannins from not removing the stems and seeds. The experience literally left us with a bad taste in our mouths. read more

I wish all wineries with tastings were this laid-back... very glad we made the time to drop in when we were in the area for a couple days. Granted, none of their wine was the best wine I'd ever had, but it was all at least very good. And I do mean all of it: their tasting fee was 5$ and supposedly included 6 wines of your choice from a substantial list, but they completely ignored that and let us taste everything. I actually had to skip a couple on grounds of I had to drive to our B&B right afterwards. Several of the wines were very reasonably-priced for the quality, and the already-great tasting fee is also waived if you buy a bottle (which I chose to think of as paying the tasting fee and then getting 5 dollars off a bottle ;)). We grabbed a bottle of their mead. Oh yeah, they have great mead, too (one very sweet and one semisweet, both quite good.) read more

What a great find! We stopped on a snowy winter day. We were delighted by all the delicious wines and the wonderful music. Jami took such excellent care of us and was so much fun! We will be back!! read more

I'm a Pino snob. Very particular about tasting away from home. Ordered the Syrah here which is fabulous. Tasting like a great California Pinot. Wish I could stay here longer and take some home! read more

This is what wine should taste like. Beautiful establishment managed with passion and care. They enjoy making their wine as much as you will enjoy drinking it. Small-town charm and craftsmanship at its finest. read more

Great atmosphere and delicious wine and apps. Glad we decided to stop in on our way through town.

Professional friendly and knowledgeable staff. Like the latest location as it's convenient and easily accessible.

Super cute little winery on the way home from a great 3 day camping trip! Unfortunately it was too rainy out to enjoy the cute patio that was very appealing! However, inside is a great atmosphere with great employees there to make your experience even better. We bought a case of wine, too! read more

Steve at Vino Salida gave us a fantastic tour and tasting. He approaches wine making like the art it is, and his passions are evident in his wines. Highly recommend! read more

Vino Salida's Novello was the first Colorado wine we tasted--before we even moved to Leadville. A friend who owned a boutique wine shop in Denver brought several Colorado wines for us to taste. Novello is still one of my favorites--great with any tomato-based Italian. Now that we live in Leadville, we frequently make the 50+ mile trip just to visit the winery--now in their beautiful new quarters. Our dogs like to go, too. It is friendly, low-key, and fun. The reds are my favorites, but I also like the Rieslings and the new mead pairs beautifully with red pepper hummus and Ethiopian spiced lentils. And the Vino Bianco is a refreshing blend of chardonnay and viognier. Oh, hmmm, that's pretty much everything. As for the reviewer who complained about charging for tasting--where have you been? Most vineyards do exactly that. read more

I have seen some small boutique wine brands set up on Long Island, Texas, Florida, and Cali. This was the weirdest one I have encountered yet - in a good way. In metal building strip center on the outside of downtown. Cute tasting/retail area and small no more than 3 couples maybe? It smelled pretty funky as they crush and ferment the wine on site! Huge plastic vats everywhere. You can buy on site or they can ship to TX, OK, CA. I love the Rosso. Ask for half case- case discount and get the word out. Did you know that are now over 100+ wineries in CO? Go visit Vino Salida and enjoy. Psst, served at Asian Palate in nearby Buena Vista. read more

Had a fantastic time here. Steve was incredibly warm and hospitable while being passionate and knowledgeable of his product line, which was quite diverse for such a small operation. I felt the tasting room and outdoor area were very comfortable and entertaining, decorated largely by the owner's own very cool art. No stuffiness or pretense, just very good wine poured by a great guy in a fun environment. Really can't say enough good things about our unexpected, unplanned experience there last weekend. read more

Awesome time and yummy Colorado wines! Can't wait for people to visit so we can bring them here!

Very nice wine tasting room. Friendly service and enjoyed the wines. Tasting and regular pours on the small side
