West Elks Wine Trail - Aug 2-5, 2012
Pairing the Best of Colorado Wine with the Best of Colorado Cuisine
The Wineries of the West Elks AVA announce the fourth annual West Elks Wine Trail event.

Rhodes Vineyards, Stone Cottage Cellars, Terror Creek Winery and 5680.
To start your Free West Elks Wine Trail tour, stop by any of the 12 West Elk Wineries to pick up your trail map for the weekend. Each winery will feature food and wine pairings, with a focus on local foods. Each winemaker will enhance your tastings with two favorite selected recipes to complement their wines. The nine wine tasting rooms will offer a wide variety of activities from vineyard tours, art displays, tastings, optional dinners, food pairings, mountain views and more. A complimentary wine glass will be given to those who travel along the wine trail and collect recipes from at least five wineries.
You are invited and encouraged to purchase wines from the winemakers, as many of the vintages from this region are only available at the wineries. There are several events and dinners associated with the West Elks Wine Trail Event. Please contact wineries and event providers directly.
