From the land of the ancient Pueblo and the mysterious ruins of Mesa Verde, through the verdant farmlands of the Grand Valley and on into hip and urban downtown Denver, Colorado’s winemakers are wielding passion and grit – and modern viticultural science – to create wines that are garnering recognition and awards on today’s national and international wine scene. In the Winelands of Colorado you will meet winemakers growing grapes in vineyards at the highest elevation in the northern hemisphere, and stroll down the streets of downtown Palisade, the town those in the know refer to as “the next Sonoma.” There are also inspired chefs, passionate hoteliers, intrepid farmers and a new generation of winemakers making no apologies about the unique style of wine they are developing in this rugged and beautiful land. – The first major photographic coffee-table book on the subject – Over 100 wineries throughout Colorado included – Foreword by Colorado Governor Hickenlooper – Introduction by Warren Winiarski, legendary founder of Stag’s Leap Cellars – 300+ original photos shot on location, and luxurious finishes throughout
