We went last Saturday morning and there really isn't anything going on and we were the only customers there. They stopped doing the guided tours earlier this year, I believe? We went into the 'store' and looked around for a bit and then went to the dairy building and nothing was going on. (I understand it was on a Saturday but still.) But we were able to walk around and say hi to the goats. Again, there wasn't anything to really do so not sure if I'd return if I'm ever in the area again.

The tasting room is set up as expected. When you walk in there is a counter and you can order drinks or try a tasting. We actually just ordered a drink and took a seat in their covered patio area. They do have a food truck out there too, so you could eat here, but we stuck to drinks. Lovely little low key spot with good people watching, I had a Colorado Mule (bourbon) and a Margarito (which was kind of a take on a mojito with whisky). The hubby got two classics (an old fashioned and a whisky sour). They were all well made and delicious. Bartender was friendly. All around vibe was great. We ended up taking a bottle of bourbon home with us. Wonderful spot on Main Street Buena Vista.

She asked what I was looking for and we went from there. I live in MA and hosted a brunch the day after my goddaughter's wedding, on October 23rd and I could tell just by her voice and enthusiasm that she and her husband would be able to pull it off AND to exceed my expectations. I agreed with all of her suggestions and on the morning of the 23rd, I went down early to check on things and to meet her and it was all uphill from there. The food was fabulous, the attention to detail and my wishes were honored at every step of the way and we pulled it all off seamlessly even though we were 1800 miles away during the planning stage. I recommend her highly and can't wait to visit her food truck the next time I am in the West.

Salida is a town that feels meticulously arranged by a diorama enthusiast with a penchant for the…read morefrontier. Nestled among the peaks of the Sawatch Range, where tumbleweeds might theoretically roll if they weren't caught in the spokes of a passing bicycle, sits an establishment of peculiar perfection: The Biker & The Baker. My compass has unerringly pointed to their door every single time I visit Salida over the past five years. It is a tradition forged in sugar and chain grease, where the rugged American West meets the precision of French pastry. Pairing high-desert riding with artisanal baking seems like a recipe for a pile-up, but the execution here is a sweet ride. You will find aerodynamic cyclists sitting elbow-to-elbow with flannel-draped modern prospectors, united by a singular quest for butter. The Biker handles the gears, the Baker handles the tiers. They aren't just coasting on charm; they are pedaling toward culinary triumph, baking up a storm that rivals the monsoons over the Arkansas River. The confections are miniature monuments to indulgence. I have routinely panned for gold in this valley, but the true motherlode is their lemon tart--a symmetrical marvel of citrus striking like a high-noon sun. Their charcuterie boards are arranged with the geometric exactitude of a surveyor mapping a railroad. Whether you are gearing up to summit Mount Shavano or recovering from a grueling promenade, this sanctuary provides the requisite fuel. It is the exceedingly charming destination itself.

I did not realize the two Eddyline locations have different menus, so it was a fun surprise to see calzones here--my husband and I are big D.P.

Between the relaxed patio atmosphere, friendly service, great beer, and family-friendly food options, it was just an all-around wonderful experience.

Wings are worth coming back for and if the smoked meats are close to the wings flavor you can't go wrong.
