My friend and I had a lot or fun visiting here. We each sampled 12 wines, and the owner gave us a few for free. He also may have inspired me to start my own business one day. Adorably cute patio and we had blankets to keep warm along with a fire table.

Visiting a friend in Colorado and had the pleasure of being introduced and to Yellow Car - I am so glad! We had such a lovely afternoon. Jean took such great care of us and made sure we were warm and our cups were always full. They have a HUGE selection of wines that are all so delicious and fruitful. I think my favorite was the afternoon tea! They offer flights & we walked away with a lot of bottles as well. If you are ever in the area I highly recommend checking out this tucked away gem- even if you don't like wine the views are worth it!!!

We had a fantastic time here over the Memorial Day weekend. The owners let us park our RV on site and taught us a lot about the wine making process. They had a live band one of the nights and just a great laid back atmosphere. We would absolutely come back again. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Such a great place and a hidden gem! Jim the owner is super gracious and fun to talk with. We couldn't believe the amount of wine choices and there many to choose from. You need a couple visits to be able to sample all of their wine choices. The patio is super chill! The stories and conversation was great, almost as welcoming as their sweet dog Chloe.

Jim is a great host, always available but never hovering. We moved to the area about 2 months ago but hadn't stopped by because we associated fruit wine with sweet wine. That is definitely not the case! There are so many options of mead and fruit wine from dry to sweet. There were 3 of us. We each got the tasting pours, so we shared and tried 15 of their offerings, along with the frozen wine slushies. The slushies were really tasty, particularly on a hot day. You can really taste the fruit in the wine - they don't add a bunch of sugar like you typically associate with fruit wines. We'll definitely be back and look forward to Jim's graciousness again.

I wouldn't know how their wines are since I couldn't find them .. even using gps
They didn't pick up on the phone so I wasn't able to talk to them during their "open hours "Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Virginia M.Park City, UT53121Dec 24, 2021
We stayed here as Harvest Host members and it was wonderful! The owners were friendly and if you like sweet fruit wines, you'll love this place! We recommend the White Strawberry wine and the Deep & Dark wine!

This place ended up being such a lovely surprise! We randomly popped in 20 minutes before closing, and ended up staying for an hour and a half. The owner was wonderful. We sampled a ton of wine, and enjoyed great conversation and amazing views from the adorable little patio. It was such a nice end to our trip to Cortez.

If you're looking for a laid back way to relax and enjoy Cortez then look no further. We stopped by while we were in town and Jim was great!!! Very generous with the flight of samples and super informative!!! He listened very well and suggested things we might like. We loved it and will definitely come back next time we visit!!!!
You really need to stop here!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
