Blue Mountain Vineyards

The memory of sneaking down to his grandfather’s cellar and sipping from the 60 gallon barrel of elder berry wine still holds a special place in Bill’s heart yet today. Who would know that this would be the start of the desire to make a wine that people would enjoy,especially with family and friends. Bill started his wine making in ernest in 1968 and finally fulfilled his dream of having his own winery and vineyard and the start of Charles and Christine’s Blue Mountain Vineyards.

Both the winery and vineyard are up against the foot hills of the Indian peaks Wilderness and Rocky Mountain National Park. The lake is home to various species of water birds, and summer visitor of a large Osprey displaying its fishing expertise and frequented by both Golden and Bald eagles. The old cotton woods on the shores of the lake make a perfect place for the Great Horned owls to roost at night.
