For the first time in nearly half a century, a Colorado vineyard spread out over 6 acres and complete with a wine tasting room, office space, store, and bottling warehouse, is being offered for sale.
Located in the western town of Palisade, the Colorado Cellars was established in 1978, beginning what would prove a lucrative enterprise producing and offering just over two dozen types of wines.
There is no list price for the property, although an earlier report pegged it at just under $3 million. The site at 3553 E Road also includes laboratory space and two 10,000-watt solar rooftop arrays.
A gazebo at the site is described as “idea for outdoor events, weddings, concerts, and more.”
The property overlooks the region’s Grand Valley, which runs along the Colorado River.
Colorado Cellars is thought to be the oldest winery in a state that has seen the building and growth of more than 180 such operations. The Centennial States, notes the Colorado Wine Industry Development Board, now produces nearly 200,000 cases of wine annually.
According to the book Guide to Colorado Wines, Colorado Cellars has produced “one of the widest selections of wine in the state, as well as an intriguing array of food and wine products.”
The property is being listed by the realtor United Country Real Estate, which has offices throughout the state.
