Grand Re-Opening

Join us, Rich and Cindy, on Saturday, April 29, 2023 to open the tasting room for the season.

We have removed the property from the sales market and have decided to reopen the winery even though we have moved out of state. Rae will head up the tasting room most of the season but we will pop in on occasion.

As always, the tasting room, patio, gazebos and playground are open for your enjoyment from noon – 5pm. Bring your friends and family (including the four-legged ones - outside) for a relaxing break in your busy life where tastings are still free.

We are trying to figure out a way that we can have food available for you. Not sure what it is going to be yet, but we will keep you posted.

The decision has been made… albeit difficult and after much discussion.

Due to the state of the economy, we guess, the guest list has been very slight most of the year. For that reason, we will be closing for the season following the Saturday after Thanksgiving until spring.

The next two Saturdays, November 19 & 26 we will be open as usual – noon to 5pm – with full tastings. The tasting room will be cozy and warm and if mother nature allows we will have the patio open for your enjoyment.

Stop by so you can stock up for the holidays and enough to hold you over until spring.

It is such a pleasure to actually have had a crop of grapes in the vineyard this year. We have everything picked and the whites are fermenting in stainless. We will press the reds this Saturday afternoon (October 1, 2022) beginning at 3pm. Stop by for a tasting, grab a glass ($6) to enjoy on the patio while we press – or grab a bucket and help us bail.

Also, this Saturday is ‘Wine, Worship and Wisdom’. As the holidays grow near and schedules are getting busy already, this will be the last gathering of the year. We have every intention of starting back up after the first of the year. We will be serving meatball sandwiches, potato salad and dessert this month. Join us at 5:30 for food, worship begins at 6:00 with our discussion following.

We are open from noon - 5pm each Saturday. We offer free tastings each week without reservations. The gazebos are comfy and the patio cozy at this time of year.

Oooops – I forgot to let you all know that we will be having Pulled Pork Sandwiches with chips, green bean salad and an amazing lemon cream raspberry pie tomorrow evening (July 9) for Wine, Worship and Wisdom. Join us at 5:30pm for eats ($3), followed by worship and a bit of wisdom at 6pm.

As always, the tasting room will be open for free tastings from noon – 5pm. Stop in for a break from the heat without any need for a reservation.

My goodness, it has been a crazy spring. We tried to get an early jump on the vineyard but the weather was less than cooperative in February and March. Despite the fact that the grapes broke later than they ever have for us, we didn’t get near as much done before foliage break as we had hoped but we are grateful as the late storms didn’t seem to impact them much. The Riesling and Cabernet Franc are the only ones that we fear will be very low yielding while others are looking really good. Needless to say, after being gone on a much-needed vacation for 9 days we now feel like we are a month behind.

While the weather kept us out of the vineyard, the winery has been keeping us busy since last fall despite the fact that Colorado had a terrible grape growing year. After much thought, we decided to remain true to our roots and did not bring in any fruit from outside the borders of Colorado. We did not harvest any local grapes what so ever and only procurred a half ton each of two grape varietals from the Western Slope. As a result, we tried our hand at apple again this year, as the yield was good on our local trees. The other new fruit we chose is peach…of course from Palisade.

This weekend we will be serving the new ‘Fresh Squeeze’, the first full bottling of the peach. We did a trial batch (that we called ‘Fuzzy Navel’ but the name was not approved) a couple of months ago that was very well received. After a few more weeks to mature and sweetening slightly – we think we have a winner.

Also, this weekend – ‘Franc and Jack’. This popular accident of several years ago – we have finally found a winning combination and feel like it stands up to our expectations and is now in the bottle. For those that are not aware, this is a Cabernet Franc and Verona blend that has been aged on Jack Daniels Whiskey Barrel Oak. Smooth, fragrant and easy to sip.

Another new blend on the table this week, is a new batch of ‘Casual Touch’. A sweet, fruity red blend with touches of raspberry and blueberry.

Most of you are aware that Legatum Cellars is for sale. We have decided, that while we love what we do, our customers and the place itself, we have fulfilled our dream and it is time to pass the baton on to others that can expand on what we have started. It is our hope and prayer that the right buyers will step in and transfer seamlessly into our shoes with fresh ideas and dreams of their own. Until we actually sell, we will continue to be open every Saturday from noon – 5pm, with free tasting and no reservations necessary.

When you stop in, feel free to wander out into the vineyard with a glass ($6) of wine to see how things are progressing. We are no longer offering charcuterie trays but you are welcome to bring a picnic/snack with you to enjoy with family and friends as you share a bottle in one of the gazebos while the kids play on the playground.

Hope to see you soon… 1704 Willow St, Canon City, CO 81212

From sunburn on Tuesday to snowdrifts today. Only in Colorado. We need the moisture so badly but really would appreciate having power.

We have contacted Black Hills Energy and they are telling us that over 800 families are affected by this outage and that we may not have power back until 4 this afternoon. For that reason we will not be able to open today.
