Creek Winery’s vineyards are located in small farming
areas at high altitudes where ideal soils, stable winters
and a long, cool growing season produce wines that emphasize
concentrated fruit and excellent structure.
Plum Creek owns or directly controls the production of grapes
from 75 acres of vineyards in Colorado. Approximately one-half
of this acreage is located in Mesa County and the remainder
is in Delta County in west-central Colorado near Paonia.
Our vineyards in Mesa County are within five miles of the
small farming community of Palisade, located at the mouth
of DeBeque Canyon, 15 miles east of Grand Junction. All of
these vineyards are within the Grand Valley American viticultural
area and are situated primarily on East Orchard Mesa, a prized
fruit-growing location for more than 100 years.
Redstone Vineyard, in Delta County, is situated on the easternmost
extension of Sunshine Mesa, approximately six miles east of
Hotchkiss and three miles west of Paonia. This vineyard is
on the north edge of the valley of the North Fork of the Gunnison
River in the West Elks AVA. The unique Chardonnay produced
from this vineyard is intensely flavored and complex.
