Construction on the Winery/ Tasting room is planned for summer of 2004, with grand opening scheduled for the spring of 2005. The Santa Fe Adobe style structure with cool and relaxing patio and stunning views is must see. This oasis on Hwy 92 will offer the amenities of a tasting room, art & craft gallery and include a variety of drinks and food products to compliment your enjoyment of our local wines. Monte Madeira plans to offer the best of the West Elks Vintners at this one stop location along with our own estate wines. Future planes include "Wine-On-Line" availability as allowed by interstate shipping laws.

Monte Madeira's easy access and incredible views make it a must for any wine lovers' Colorado excursions. Plan on stopping in for a break or your ultimate destination. Gourmet Bed & Breakfasts and Restaurants are close at hand and the friendly ambiance of the region is sure to please. Paonia, Crawford, and Hotchkiss offer events all summer, from the Annual Cherry Festival, to the Delta County Fair, including Crawford Pioneer Days, a Classic Car show and motorcycle Rally, and a new Bluegrass music fest held at the Delta County Fairgrounds. The Gunnison and the North Fork is one of many gold medal fishing locations also in the area, and don't forget us as you tour the fall colors. The West Elks Appellation wineries will be a featured route for those who take advantage of the Colorado Mountain Winefest held in Grand Junction and Palisades in late September.
