Bijou Creek Vineyards
French for "little jewel," Bijou (bee-zhoo) Creek was named by
early French explorers in this region. The seasonally dry creek meanders across
the Eastern Plains of Colorado and drains into the South Platte
River.
Our wine is made by time tested traditions handed down for
generations complemented by modern technology. That comination makes our wine as
good as can be made from premium, high-altitude Colorado grapes. Hot days, cool
nights combined with intense sunlight make these grapes rich in color and flavor
with just the right balance of acid and tannins.
Located in eastern
Colorado near the town of Fort Morgan, Bijou Creek Vineyards began its
commercial wine making operations in 2006. We currently receive our grapes from
vineyards in the Palisade area on the Western Slope of Colorado. That area is
ideal for growing vinifera or classical wine making grapes. Here at our winery
we have an experimental vineyard to find grapes that are more suited to this
area and make good wine.
