We had heard so many great things about this winery and finally decided to stop in for lunch. As we…read morepulled up, we realized we'd driven past it countless times without even knowing it was there! We really enjoyed the wine flight, especially the last two selections--they were our favorites. We loved the pomegranate red so much that we bought two bottles to take home. The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and the ambiance was warm, relaxing, and inviting. We're so glad we finally stopped in and will definitely be back!

We came to this place because I was looking for Elk Steak and it was one of the only places I could…read morefind that served it. It's in a very interesting location and it shares a building with a little grocery store which is very unique. We had actually not made a reservation and we got there around 5pm and our Hostess made some arrangements and got us seated within a few minutes. Once you go inside it looks like a very high end restaurant and every staff member there was super professional. Our waitress arrived super fast and we basically knew what we wanted already so we ordered Our food. We got our food within 15-25 minutes and I ordered their renowned Pan seared Elk and I got the wine that was recommended to pair with it. I honestly think that was the best elk I've ever had there was 0 gamey flavor to it at all and it was cooked to perfection(medium-rare). My girlfriend was already full for the most part so she just ordered their fries which had arrived way before my meal did so we shared them, they tasted very good. This place was definitely worth it and I highly recommend paying it a visit.

August 6, 2026 - Penrose, CO…read more We spotted the roadway sign for this winery on our way to the Royal Gorge Bridge and decided we had to stop on the way back. So glad we did. We were warmly welcomed, along with our pup, and decided to do a tasting. For just $5, we got five 1-ounce pours of our choice. They have a nice selection of wines, a comfortable tasting room, and a super-friendly host. Of course, tasting led to shopping, and three bottles of wine came home with us. The wines were very reasonably priced. A fun, welcoming little winery that was well worth the stop.

Charming Countryside Winery!…read more What a find! This place is like if the show, Cheers, took place at a winery. The endearing personalized wine glasses hung on the wall, each with the "nickname" of its patron took this place to a new level for me. We got to witness a local couple come in for a sip. The owner grabbed their wine glasses and was ready to pour their choice before they barely got through the door. The wine selection had something for any wine lovers passion. I am partial to a sweet wine and enjoyed quite a few of their offerings. We got a charcuterie board to munch on with our wine tasting and it was plentiful and filling. The owner is very personable and knows his stuff. Will be making this winery a regular stop when I come to Colorado to visit family.

If average was a restaurant, this place would be the poster child. I only give it 3 stars because of the service, the food was a solid 1-2 stars. Bland, as average as it gets. The chicken in the chicken tacos had no texture. It was mush! So bad. The special chicken fried steak was exceedingly average at best. The waitress, Erica, was awesome, and that was the highlight. The food was just awful to average. Drinks were good though, because they came out of a can. So disappointing, we really were excited to try it. Just keep driving by it, up or down the mountain there is way better offerings in the area. Ambiance was awesome, right in the stream with humming birds flitting about.

What an incredible experience from beginning to end!…read more Our trip from California started with Sharon, who helped us with our reservation. She was warm, patient, and extremely helpful in making the modifications we needed. From that first interaction, we felt like we were in good hands. When we arrived, Rainey was thoughtful and accommodating, especially since my wife and I were traveling with her parents, who needed a little extra support and assistance. Her kindness was greatly appreciated. Then we met Susan in the gift shop...an absolute gem. We immediately connected when I mentioned that my late mother's name was also Susan. I asked if she knew the meaning of her name, and she replied, "Lily." That stopped me in my tracks because the book I'm writing about my mother is titled The Lily of the Valley. I promised Susan that when it's finished, I'll send her a copy. In fact, our conversation inspired me to sit down and write while we waited to board the dome train. Once aboard, Thomas, our server, was awesome. He was knowledgeable, informative, personable, and made us feel less like customers and more like family. His service added so much to an already memorable ride. The scenery is spectacular, but what really made this experience special were the people. Sharon, Rainey, Susan, and Thomas each contributed something memorable to our day. A truly wonderful experience and one we highly recommend. It was absolutely worth the investment...and gave us memories we'll carry home to California with us. Truly a happy ending and we' come again. LOL!

The even side had the gorge wall most of the way. Food is very good with fresh ingredients and nice flavors. If you purchase online with the ticket you get a free beverage. We had wine which was very nice. The mocktail pina colada was fantastic! We sat in the domed cars which gave a much better view of the scenery. There is an open air car that is available if you want to stand and experience the wind in your hair. We spent a total of approximately two and a half hours. We would definitely ride it again. Tip: there is a huge gift shop you walk through before boarding the train. This is after the gift shop where you pick up the tickets.
