Although it's hard to believe that an area better known for skiing and mountaineering can be coaxed into producing great wines, Colorado's Wine Country is home to over 80 individual wineries and includes the highest-altitude vineyards in the U.S.

The best time to visit Colorado's Wine Country is late March to May, when the harvest has taken place and many of the wineries offer spring tastings and food and wine pairings.

To enjoy a wider range of tastings you can visit in September during the annual Colorado Mountain Winefest.

You can take a one-day or multi-day self-guided tour of the area or sign up for a guided tour and leave the driving to someone else.
