Reeder Mesa Vineyards

Reeder Mesa Vineyards is situated in the foothills of the world's largest flat-top mountain, the Grand Mesa, at an elevation of 5600 feet. The first grapes were planted in 1994, and after receiving winemaking awards at the amateur level, the winery was established in 2000. Doug and Kris Vogel are the owners, and Doug is the vintner/viticulturist. The Riesling that is grown and bottled here is a favorite, and boasts a light, crisp, fruity taste. Reeder Mesa Vineyards participates in Colorado Mountain Winefest and will have tastings available at this event. The winery/tasting room offers spectacular views of the Grand Mesa. Land's End Road is nearby and is a Scenic Byway. For a country setting with a special charm, Reeder Mesa Vineyards offers facilities for small groups to come and enjoy Colorado wines.
