Three Labels, One Winery
Talon Wines proudly produces wine under three labels: St. Kathryn Cellars, Talon Winery, and Meadery of the Rockies.
In 2005 the Foster family opened the Colorado Wine Room, featuring some of the best wines from across Colorado and producing wine under their own label, Talon Winery. After three years, Talon Winery needed to expand and the Fosters began exploring their options. When they discovered a trio of wineries under one company, including an extensive production facility and two excellent retail locations in Palisade, the Fosters purchased Meadery of the Rockies, St. Kathryn Cellars and Confre Cellars, giving birth to Talon Wine Brands. In subsequent years Confre Cellars was phased out, creating a new home for Talon Winery.
In 2021, the company was renamed Talon Wines, and about a year later they announced that they would be consolidating their two tasting rooms and moving to the Meadery location going into 2023. They continue to craft wines under all three labels.
Talon Wines at the Meadery offers tours, tastings, events, wine flights, charcuterie boards, and a curated gift selection for your enjoyment! Visit our website to book tours, make tasting reservations, and view upcoming events.
St. Kathryn Cellars: Fruit & Botanical Wines
Our St. Kathryn Cellars label features our most unique offerings: fruit and botanical wines. Fun, easy to drink, and typically on the sweeter side, our St. Kathryn’s wines are consistently customer favorites and best sellers. We’re most known for our Lavender wine, made by infusing white wine with organic, locally sourced lavender buds.
Talon Winery: Traditional Grape Wines
Talon Winery is our traditional grape wine label – here, you’ll find classic favorites such as Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Grigio. The vast majority of our grapes are sourced right here in the Grand Valley to give you a true taste of Colorado wine, vine to bottle. Try our flagship red blend, Wingspan Red, or our reserve wine, The Falconer.
Meadery of the Rockies: Meads
Under our Meadery of the Rockies label we craft our meads, or honey wines. We take great pride in continuing the ancient tradition of mead-making, and being Colorado’s original meadery. Explore a variety of traditional meads, fruit meads (also known as melomels), and dessert meads. For our fruit blends, we use as much local produce as possible. We offer a complete range of sweetness, alcohol levels and flavors.
