The owner was so friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell he has a passion for wine! Beautifully decorated. Very tasty! Don't forget to try the mead!

My Hubby and I visited yesterday and had a good time. After sipping on my flat of sweet wines we purchased a couple bottles or 3:) Good experience.

We were Harvest Host guests for our second time at Vino Salida Wine Cellars. After being warmly greeted and given perfect directions on where to park our RV, we sat at the bar and enjoyed a glass of Vino Rosso di Salida. My husband noticed a picture on the wall that looked very familiar to us. Brad, the friendly bartender, confirmed that the photo was of a vineyard in Palisade, CO. In fact, Vino Salida Wine Cellars sources grapes from Palisade. No wonder their wine is so delicious. Although we were their first customers that afternoon, before we finished our wine, the room was hopping with happy hour folks. Of course, we purchased wine to take back to our RV. Thanks so much for being a fabulous Harvest Host. We will be back.

Wish I could add more stars. Met Steve, the owner, as we were driving through Poncha Springs. He was not open but gave us a quick tour before leaving on his trip to Denver. Beautiful place and we will be back, during business hours, on our next trip back.

The best spot in Chaffee County to sip wine and enjoy the beautiful views. Wonderful indoor and outdoor seating. They also serve some local beers and can make you a martini! Enjoy some tapas with your location as well.

My husband and I enjoyed the wine flights and took a bottle of our favorite home with us! Everyone was friendly, and the service was great. We picked up on a hint of odd passive aggression from the woman who greeted us, but maybe she was having a rough day. Bob and Deb were performing and their music was fantastic. I hope to see them play again.A nice stop to include in your Salida trip.

It's definitely a must go place. The host is just fantastic and can answer any questions about their wines. The classic and the pastrami bruschettas were excellent, especially paired with the sweet riesling. I did like the mead wine as well. Definitely, everyone should try this place for sure.

Great wine, friendly staff and a great spot to relax after a day on the river
Stopped in on a Saturday evening and loved it! We sat on couches in the back of the tasting room right next to a window where you could see the wines in their barrels. There was a great duo playing music and the server at the wine bar was very nice. We ordered half of a charcuterie board, a dry wine flight and 2 sweet wine flights. The prices were good and the portions were great. We enjoyed all the wines we tasted and the 1/2 charcuterie board was perfect for 3 of us. Perfect way to start a Saturday night and will definitely return!

Thank you, Trip Advisor! I now have a new favorite wine I can’t get in Texas. The Vino Rosso is amazing AND affordable. Julie was absolutely fantastic! Informative, friendly, with a great sense of humor & gift of gab AND food pairing recommendations! If you’re in the area, hell even if you’re not - it’s a beautiful drive, cute town, and well worth your time.

We were visiting some friends in Salida and after a nice drive on 285 we stumbled upon this place looking for a bathroom. Julie was incredible and took us in and made us feel at home. She set up some an amazing wine flight which hit the spot after our drive. The ambiance of the place feels like an old fashion luxury train car. Leather couches, lots of plants, comfortable bathrooms, and a comfortable bar when you walk in. The Sangria is excellent and comes in a bag which is perfect for camping or the pool. We also bought a bag of Chard which we crushed that night. Julie also hooked us up with a hot sauce flight. Of course we bought all of the sauces. The chipotle flavor was my favorite. The locals are very friendly. We will be back in the summer when we see our friends again (hopefully Julie will be there) and will sit outside to enjoy a glass and maybe some treats which comes with a nice view.
Very good wine, Steve is a great host
