Sutcliffe Vineyards

Crafting wines of the American West since 1995, Sutcliffe Vineyards stands as a rare oasis in the sculpted desert of Southwest Colorado. We cultivate vines in this harsh wilderness, producing complex reds and whites that have earned multiple 90-point reviews and a spot among the top 500 wine producers in the U.S. Our hand-picked grapes are processed entirely in-house, resulting in exclusive varietals like Cabernet Franc and Viognier that supply high-end partners including Amangiri, Telluride Ski Resort, and Dunton Hot Springs. Beyond the bottles, we offer guided vineyard tours and curated tastings in our Cortez tasting room, where you can join our Wine Society for quarterly deliveries and member perks. We also host regular wine and food pairing events and welcome guests for weddings or private gatherings in our scenic setting. Visitors from Durango or further afield find an authentic experience rooted in local agriculture and winemaking values.
