WELCOME TO SUTCLIFFE VINEYARDS
Our grapes are grown at the Sutcliffe & Castillo vineyards in McElmo Canyon. And additionally purchased from select growers in Palisade, CO. We also make wine in Paso Robles, CA under the direction of David Culliton, our California winemaker. Great wines are made in the vineyard, so considerable attention is given to the growing.
We have been Colorado’s most acclaimed vineyard, garnering many great reviews. Romantically trapped in our isolation and eccentricity, and driven by an insatiable desire to produce better and better wines. We stubbornly battle on.
Both the tasting rooms in Durango and at the vineyard express this attitude, as well as offering brilliant wines and good humor.

BALANCE IN EVERY ASPECT
As winemakers, we try to create perfect balance in the wines while still retaining the timeless traditional methods of yesteryear. This relentless pursuit pushes us to constantly innovate and refine our craft.
CAPTURED WITHIN EVERY BOTTLE…
We produce quite a wide range of wines, some of the more celebrated are Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Chardonnay, and the complex red blends which we award unpronounceable Welsh names, like Trawsfynydd and Hafoty Fawr.
We also offer Grenache, Petite Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot, Rosé, and more —all available at our online shop.
Additionally, explore our Wine Society membership, where you can join the Sutcliffe family at one of three levels: Amusing, Charming, and Adorable, rather than bronze, silver, and gold. Lots of benefits, complimentary tastings, solid discounts, and access to our fun, exclusive events.
