About Continental Divide Winery

Continental Divide Winery is located in Fairplay, Colorado, a small South Park town sitting at over 9,900 feet in elevation. With a 3.7-star rating from 3 reviews, it's a young operation still building its audience. Fairplay is a unique setting for a winery, perched high in the Rockies and better known as a gateway to ski areas and fly-fishing than as a wine destination. That novelty is actually part of the draw, as visitors to this remote stretch of Colorado don't often expect to find a dedicated tasting room, which makes discovering one feel like a genuine find.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth stopping at Continental Divide Winery on a road trip through South Park?
If you're passing through Fairplay, a winery stop is a distinctive detour that most travelers don't expect in such a remote mountain town. It adds a memorable stop to a drive that's already packed with scenery.
What are the current hours for the tasting room?
Hours for small mountain wineries can vary seasonally or by day of the week. Call (719) 838-2349 before making the drive out to Fairplay to confirm they're open when you plan to visit.
Does altitude affect wine taste at this elevation?
Altitude can subtly affect how you perceive alcohol and flavor because your senses are a bit more sensitive at high elevation. Many visitors find wines taste slightly more intense or that they feel the effects of alcohol a bit quicker, so pacing yourself is smart.
Is Continental Divide Winery close to Breckenridge?
Fairplay is about 20 miles south of Breckenridge over Hoosier Pass, making it a feasible detour for skiers or summer visitors in the area. It's a scenic drive and a different kind of stop than anything you'd find in Breckenridge proper.
Can I bring a group for a private tasting?
Small tasting rooms in rural mountain towns often welcome group bookings, especially outside of peak tourist hours. Calling ahead at (719) 838-2349 to arrange a group visit is the best approach.
What types of wine does Continental Divide Winery serve?
The specific selection varies, but you can generally expect a mix of red and white varietals available by the glass or flight. For the most current list, reach out to the winery directly before your visit.
