Beautiful surroundings, great vine. The team are very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They really know how to make great vines. We felt welcome at the tasting room, or outdoor seating. Some of the best wines in the area. This is Colorado's hidden Napa Valley. We've never been disappointed in Whitewater Hill Vineyard wines. They really know there products. One of our very favorites.

The greatest Wine tasting experience ever! We began our day treated to more knowledge and information on all flavors of wine. Our host Whip treated us like royalty. One of my sons had never been to a winery and walked away with a wonderful appreciation on how to get the full flavor on his palate! A memorable day for us all. Than you!!

Amazing service! Ask for Whip! This was my first wine tasting and Whip was very knowledgeable in all the wines and different ways on how to tast, drink, identify and know what to look for in a wine and just honestly the best experience. My family has done alot of wine tasting they said it was the best they had. Thanks Whip!

This was the one winery we did two tastings at, after stopping at about 9 others in the area. Whitewater Hill has an impressive assortment of wines that are delicious, unique and reasonably priced. During the tastings, we had the pleasure of being served by Aleta and Whip who both were wonderful to hang out with.
