Beautiful farm overlooking the Colorado River and Mt. Garfield. Family owned boutique winery/vineyard specializing in small batch hand-crafted wines, produced from our own quality grapes. Bring a picnic to enjoy with our lovely wines and amazing view!
At AVANT Vineyards, the principal winemaking philosophy is to keep the process as basic and natural as possible, letting the character of the fruit come through. We make our wine in hand crafted small batches from our estate grapes. Our vineyards grow along the mighty Colorado River at the base of the Grand Mesa on Colorado’s western slope. There, the cool night breezes coming off the mountains meet the hot sunny days of this high desert environment. All these factors make our select varietal and blended varietal wines absolutely delicious. Please visit and enjoy the relaxing Avant experience.
