A New Winery

Oh how I love my wine. But as much as I love my wines, I also love finding new wineries too. If I could turn back the hands of time, and do it all over again, I think I would have gone into the world of viticulture.

We have introduced our friends Mike and Lauren into the world of wine, and they found a new winery for us to enjoy. It’s called Blue Mountain Vineyards, in Berthoud, about 45 minutes north of us. Blue Mountain Vineyard was so gorgeous, nestled in the middle of beautiful farmland. It was a very pleasant surprise. The grounds were gorgeous, the people were very friendly, and the wines were delicious. The owners Bill and Christie live on the property, just adjacent the actual winery. They invited us to tour around and see the vineyards and the flowers, which of course we did after enjoying our wine flights.

I was told Bill found this gorgeous stained glass window at a yard sale. it was one of a few gorgeous windows around the property.

This is the owner Bill and his official tour guide Bear. Bear is a Great Pyrenees like our new baby girl Dorrie (Andorra).

We packed a picnic and enjoyed them with our wine flights. All of us customized our flights with4 different wines.

As we were enjoying the wines and the day, Trent, the Head Vinter, came over to share some grapes and the a little background about Blue Mountain Wine

Blue Mountain Vineyards is located west of beautiful Berthoud, Colorado. Berthoud is a small town surrounded largely by farmland, nicknamed the “Garden Spot of Colorado.” It is a town that embodies the small town charm and local feel that we love so much. We are a small operation and remain focused on being a positive part of the local communities that support us.

Both our winery and vineyard are nestled up against the foothills of the Indian Peaks Wilderness and Rocky Mountain National Park. The winery itself was constructed on a plot of farmland that was once a pasture but now hosts many trees and gardens as well as the vineyard. Our lake is home to various species of water birds, frequented by both golden and bald eagles and a summer visitor, the large osprey that likes to display its fishing expertise! The old cottonwoods on the shores of the lake make a perfect place for the Great Horned owls to roost at night. We love sharing our passion for wine making, our wonderful community and Colorado.
