Description

BookCliff Vineyards is one of the few wines produced using 100 percent Colorado grown grapes. Though BookCliff's tasting room calls Boulder home, the grapes are grown on the western slope of the Colorado Rockies outside of the city of Palisade, an area where wine-making has flourished since early vineyards were planted over 100 years ago. BookCliff took off when husband and wife team, John Garlich and Ulla Merz, entered the wine-making business in 1999. The couple spends their weekends working in the Vineyard, and the winery itself is located in the basement of their home in Boulder, which they have licensed as a winery. To sample the taste of Colorado wine, visit the BookCliff Tasting Room on Pearl Street in downtown Boulder where the friendly staff will pair different wines with specialty cheeses, meats, and chocolates. The tasting room shares space with Belvedere Belgian Chocolate Shop, so this storefront truly is a one-stop, decadent feast for the palate.
