Berkeley Estate Cellars

Berkeley Estate Cellars has earned its reputation as one of the region's most genuine wine experiences in West Elks AVA Area — Colorado's most distinctive wine destination. Set in Paonia, the winery combines estate-grown character with a visitor experience that makes wine approachable for newcomers and satisfying for serious tasters.

The wines lean on Chardonnay and Pinot Gris — a smart choice given Colorado's high-altitude growing conditions. In the glass, these varietals deliver approachable character that rewards repeat visits and careful attention, the kind of quality that has helped Colorado wineries build a following well beyond state lines.

Visiting Berkeley Estate Cellars means spending time with a team that genuinely cares about what's in the bottle and who's tasting it. The tasting room offers intimate small-group tastings and a well-stocked wine shop, and the property itself — a converted farmstead with working vineyard views — provides the setting that makes a wine-country day trip feel worthwhile.
