Frequently Asked Questions

Does Mountain Spirit Winery make their own wine on-site?
Yes, this is a working winery producing their own wines and spirits. The on-site production connection gives the tasting experience a more authentic feel compared to a shop that simply resells other labels.
What makes Colorado mountain wine different from wines made at lower elevations?
High altitude means more intense UV exposure, cooler nights, and a shorter growing season, all of which affect how grapes develop and what flavors end up in the bottle. It's a distinct style that's increasingly recognized on a national level.
Is Salida worth visiting just for the winery, or is there more to do?
Salida is a full destination with world-class whitewater on the Arkansas River, a strong arts scene, and excellent local dining. The winery fits naturally into a day or weekend trip rather than being the only reason to make the drive.
Can I visit Mountain Spirit Winery without a reservation?
Walk-ins are generally welcome, but it's worth calling ahead at (719) 539-1175, especially during peak summer and fall seasons when Salida sees high visitor traffic.
Do they offer spirits as well as wine?
Yes, Mountain Spirit operates under a beer, wine, and spirits license, so you can expect more than just wine at the tasting counter. Ask about what distilled products are currently available when you visit.
Is this a good spot for a private event or group tasting?
Salida attracts a lot of group travelers, from cycling tours to bachelorette weekends, and a mountain winery is a natural gathering spot. Contact the winery directly to discuss what private or group options they can accommodate.
