The Wines of Colorado

Specialties

Nestled at the foot of Pikes Peak in Cascade, Colorado, The Wines of Colorado is an unheralded, romantic oasis and an easy 15 minute drive from downtown Colorado Springs. True to its name, the restaurant, tasting room, retail wine sales and gift shop, all do a brisk sip-​and-​sup business, but while oenophiles can be found sniffing their way around the tasting room, epicureans retire to the wood planked deck or Creekside dining area to feast on towering sandwiches and burgers, including the very popular buffalo wine burger, a juice-​dribbling, hand formed patty sky scraped with grilled onions, sautéed mushrooms, and roasted green chilis.

Dine in the shade of the willows and pines next to Fountain Creek or on our sunny deck overlooking the creek. Combined with great food and wine, this is the Colorado experience you have been looking for.

Shielded from the sun by wispy willow trees and aromatic pines along the creek, The Wines of Colorado is the perfect place to enjoy your getaway.

History

Established in 1998.

Owner, Marv Parliament gets a twinkle in his eye when he talks about building his business. It was the challenge that he loved. The mechanics of fitting together the right food, atmosphere and location had him intrigued.

When the opportunity presented itself 15 years ago, Marv’s intrigue into opening a roadside restaurant became a reality. What better location than at the foot of America’s Mountain with constant traffic year round. To further enhance the appeal to stop in, Marv was able to offer complimentary wine tasting and the sale of Colorado Wines.

Knowing that an important part of a successful restaurant is curb appeal, he contacted the Business of Art Center to find a muralist. Alan Burton transformed the plain cinder block building into a work of art. Marv and his wife Francie gathered the necessities, buying only what they could pay for to create a special atmosphere, one that was uniquely their own.
