The Storm Cellar - Hotchkiss, Colorado

We absolutely loved this winery! We did a tasting and each wine was so good, dry and crisp! The owners were so nice, friendly and knowledgeable. We ended up buying a couple of bottles, one of which was a dry riesling! I’ll definitely return it’s a must when visiting Paonia.

We came up for Steak Night. It was a vibrant friendly atmosphere. Dining al fresco the food was grilled over peach wood and chef served, my friends enjoyed a bottle of their award winning wine and we all drank in the most stunning views.

Storm Cellar has everything going for it and more. Delicious wines (and a wine cocktail!), incredible views, cute pups, friendly owners and staff... And if you happen to be there Friday night, a pro chef too! We weren't always white wine fans, but Storm Cellar has converted us. And if I could give an additional star for being dog friendly, I would! We sat outside with our leashed pup and everyone was welcoming of him.

Well, First Jayme and Steve were recently voted Colorado Winery of the year. so there's that. They have earned it! They work so hard to bring the best wine out their fruit. They are also the most enjoyable people to be around. They are welcoming and are so appreciative of your business that you just want to come back and bring friends. Steve is so good at telling the story of the wines. Jayme makes you feel at home in their backyard. It's casual, rustic and romantic. The views are amazing. Bring appropriate clothes because the weather may change. Steve and Jayme bring in the best chefs from the area to do wine paired dinners, or casual Friday night bbqs. Their whites and rosés are always spot on. There are so many to choose from! We've made some great friends there. See you there!

Thank you Jayme and Steve and congratulations!

We recently visited The Storm Cellar for Steak Night with Chef Joe. Steak Night is every Friday during the summer. The food, atmosphere, and views were amazing. I would recommend stopping while you are here.

This place is such a magical place and has such a laidback vibe with upscale service and wine. You will have to go up some windy roads to get there but the road is in great condition and the directions are well marked. Plus the view is well worth it when you get there. I went on a Friday night when they had a visiting chef serving ribeye and fish kebabs. They had picnic benches, string lights, and corrugated steel shelters which created the perfect ambiance to enjoy the incredible view. The wine is phenomenal. The couple that started it were sommeliers in the denver dining scene so they definitely know what they're doing when it comes to service and wine. My favorite is the Sauvignon blanc but you honestly cannot go wrong with any of their wines. I love that this is a working farm and they were very welcoming. A lot of the locals were visiting so you know this was the place to be on a Friday night in hotchkiss/Paonia. This place is a must visit if you're ever in the area and even a reason to come to this area!

Made it to Steak Night! I thought we might miss it this year. Caught the last one. The wines are nationally and internationally renowned, and Chef Joseph Kerns knows his stuff! Jayme and Steve are amazing hosts.

We love The Storm Cellar!

Steve and Jayme take the time and walk you though their winery!

An amazing husband and wife making some of the best wines in Colorado!

Their vineyard is a small but busy operation. TSC always host amazing dinner parties or other events that include talented chefs throughout the year!

With that amazing view, plan to spend 4-5 hours enjoying all TSC wines!
