Wine in Ouray
Several Ouray restaurants maintain thoughtful wine lists featuring Colorado-grown bottles alongside broader selections. The area's fine dining establishments are surprisingly well-stocked for a remote mountain town.
A few specialty shops in the historic district stock Colorado wines by the bottle — ideal for picking up a Grand Valley Riesling or a Palisade Syrah to enjoy on your condo deck.
Colorado Wine Country Day Trips
The Palisade wine region near Grand Junction is Colorado's premier wine appellation, with over 30 wineries producing award-winning Bordeaux varietals, Riesling, and Syrah. It's a 2.5-hour drive from Ouray through spectacular canyon country.
The Colorado Mountain Winefest, held annually in Palisade each September, is one of the region's most popular wine events and pairs naturally with an Ouray trip.
Wine and Mountain Living at The Lumberyard
