Latigo Winery

Latigo Winery in Black Forest, Colorado offers something genuinely uncommon: wine, mead, and cider all under one roof. Black Forest is a wooded community on the northeastern edge of the Colorado Springs metro, known for its ponderosa pines and rural character. Latigo holds a perfect 5.0 rating from its early reviewers, suggesting the quality and experience are landing well with those who've found it. For visitors looking for a tasting experience that goes beyond standard wine, this is worth seeking out.

The tasting room is the heart of the Latigo experience, where guests can sample wines alongside house-made meads and ciders in a single sitting. Mead production uses honey as its fermentable base and results in a wide range of styles, from dry and wine-like to sweeter dessert options. Ciders crafted on-site let apple-forward drinkers enjoy something local without defaulting to beer. The combination of three distinct fermented beverages means there's genuinely something for everyone in a group, which makes it a smart pick for mixed-preference outings.

Latigo Winery draws visitors primarily from Colorado Springs and the surrounding communities, including Monument, Falcon, and Peyton. Black Forest's location just north of the Springs makes it a convenient short drive for locals wanting a different kind of outing. It also attracts visitors passing through the area on their way between Denver and southern Colorado.
