The Vinyard

Acreage
The current vineyard is 22 acres. There are 12 more acres being prepared for vines in the future.

 

Vine Spacing
The original 5 acres are spaced at 5' by 10'.

We have since decided that other spacing arrangements for our cool climate will result in higher brix (sugar) levels. We now plant 4', 5', and 6' by 12' depending on the variety and its vigor.

 

Irrigation
Twelve acres are automated drip irrigation and ten acres are furrow irrigation.

 

Varitals

Reds
Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Franc
Merlot
Pinot Nior
Lemberger (an Austrian vinifera)

Whites
Chardonnay
Gewurztraminer

               Vineyard with drip irrigation. Foreground shows new planting in grow tubes with older vines behind.

COTTONWOOD CELLARS, INC.

Welcome to Cottonwood Cellars.

 

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.

Emphasis on QUALITY not quantity.

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, etc.

Please call ahead for winery tours. There is NO fee for tasting and tours. We personally welcome everyone.

Olathe is not a tourist area. It is a quiet farming community at approximately 5400 ft. altitude. There are tourist attractions North of us in Delta and in Montrose to the South.
