The Western Slope has plenty going on – from hiking and biking to orchards for picking produce, festivals and more – there’s definitely something for everyone – and every season. But of course, there are the wineries. The Grand Valley AVA is one of two federally designated regions in Colorado and produces more than 80% of the state’s crop. The protected nature of the Grand Valley region means the area is often sunny, warm and much more temperate than other parts of the state, even in the winter. (And it’s also great for growing peaches!).
A NOTE FROM CHEF: Raised in the Garden State, where I learned to hunt before I could walk, I always had my sights set on the untamed wilds of Alaska. Years later, with a trusted companion by my side, I ventured into the Great Frontier and conquered the Alaskan Ox. Today, every dish crafted is a tribute to my fallen friend, a testament to the adventures we shared. Stay hungry, my friends.
A NOTE FROM CHEF: Like my family before me, gardening runs in our blood. From deer tongue to lamb's ear to shiso and everything in between, my mother and I only cultivated nature's toughest crops. It was during those sun-soaked days on the farm that I discovered my passion for crafting salads as rich and unforgettable as my childhood memories. Stay fresh, my friends.

“Carboy has, in recent years, been making some of the best and most interesting wines in Colorado, hands down,” declares wine writer and critic Alder Yarrow. “[They] are not at all afraid to experiment with unusual grape varieties. Their Teroldego has quickly become one of the wines I look forward to tasting every year.”
