The Cellars of Vino Salida

Vino Salida Wine Cellars is a small artisan winery in the Heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Nestled in the Upper Arkansas River Valley, they bring in high-quality grapes from the finest growers in Palisade to create handcrafted batches of tasty vino. Steve Flynn, the winemaker has been making wine since 1984. A knowledge he got from his sophomore biology class and soon was fermenting Concord grape wine in his closet. Colorado's abundant sunshine, warm days, cool nights, and low humidity provide the perfect conditions for wine grapes that feature the complex character and chemistry required to craft award-winning wines. All the Colorado wines are processed in small batches. Each year, tons of grapes are brought in from Palisade, Colorado. The yearly bounty has included Chardonnay, Albarino, Riesling, Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Merlot, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel, Sangiovese, and Carignan.

My husband and I enjoyed the wine flights and took a bottle of our favorite home with us! Everyone was friendly, and the service was great. We picked up on a hint of odd passive aggression from the woman who greeted us, but maybe she was having a rough day. Bob and Deb were performing and their music was fantastic. I hope to see them play again. A nice stop to include in your Salida trip.

This is a great little winery in the heart of the mountains. We pulled in as a Harvest Host stay. It had just begun to snow and Steve turned on the fireplace and got us started on a flight of wine. Nice and cozy. We met another couple and shared wine and appetizers then settled in for the evening. It snowed over 12" overnight--on May 9!

Vino Salida Wine Cellars is a fantastic spot with really tasty wines and food. We stayed here overnight through Harvest Host (boondocking website) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Steve was incredibly kind and the hospitality was unmatched in our Harvesy Host adventures, and the parking/boondocking felt comfortable and safe. Tasted our way through the Winemaker’s Cellar Collection tasting flight and loved all four of the reds served. Also ordered the classic bruschetta and man did that hit the spot! You can’t beat the views here either. If you prefer, the indoor seating and atmosphere is cute and cozy as well. You’re only a few miles from Salida which has become one of our favorite small towns to visit, out of any state we’ve been to. Ended up spending an extra day here to explore! Don’t miss this awesome winery on your travels!

It's definitely a must go place. The host is just fantastic and can answer any questions about their wines. The classic and the pastrami bruschettas were excellent, especially paired with the sweet riesling. I did like the mead wine as well. Definitely, everyone should try this place for sure.
