Destinations

Sun-ripened, mountain-grown, and remarkably easy to love

Since 1988, Carlson Vineyards has been producing expressive, approachable wines at high elevation—celebrated for their fruit-forward style and laid-back tasting room vibe.

Carlson Vineyards is considered the pioneers of the Colorado wine industry. Carlson uses only sun-ripened grapes and fruit grown at the elevation of 4,700 feet on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains. As a result, why wines are easy to drink as well as distinctive.
