COTTONWOOD CELLARS INCORPORATED

We are a family owned and run winery on a 52-acre farm in Olathe Colorado. Twenty two acres are planted in Vinifera grapes. We are on top of California Mesa with panoramic views of both the San Juan Mountains and the Grand Mesa.

Please visit our tasting room with lovely gift items and antiques. Have a glass of wine and relax under 100+ year old cottonwood trees in our large front lawn. Plan your own event: reunion, wedding, business seminar, luncheon, wine class.

Cottonwood Cellars is a family owned winery with a vineyard, Cottonwood Vineyards. The Owners are Keith (the Winemaker) and Diana (Marketing) Read. The winery began operation in 1994. The first grape vines (5 acres) were planted in 1995 and has increased yearly to the current 22.5 acres. A new building (below) was added in 1998 for barrel aging, case good storage, and the tasting room.

The red wines are fermented in French and American oak barrels. The Chardonnay is fermented sur-lees in American oak barrels. These wines are barrel aged 1-2 years and then bottle aged at least one more year before release.
