Colorado Wine Country
growing grapes with ‘altitude’
Great Grapes • Colorado's grape growing regions include some of the highest elevation vineyards in the world. With more than 100 wineries in the state, the altitude of these vineyards ranges between 4,000 and 7,000 feet above sea level. Since the end of the 19th Century, wine grapes have been grown locally in small vineyards. • Hot sunny days and cool, crisp evenings pair wonderfully for the Colorado mountain grape. • Colorado is known for its Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Viognier. • Colorado Wine Country is named by Trip Advisor as one of the top ten US destinations for wine aficionados.
