Vino Colorado Winery & The Sweet Elephant

Before they moved locations from Old Colorado City and now at their new location in Fountain, my family and I always make a stop. My husband and I live in the springs and whenever either of our parent come to visit Sweet Elephant is a top request! We usually buy by the case and ALWAYS leave very happy! They have seasonal wines with different fruits like pomegranate, blueberry, apple and peach and all fo them are so good. They also make other traditional type wines like Cabs, Savignons, Pinots and more. Their new location might be a little out of the way for some, but definitely we'll worth the little bit of drive to get their good wine!! ^_^

Golden Hikers of Colorado Springs had a thingy !!! We went to SWEET ELEPHANT for our monthly meeting . Food was fantastic , WINE was scrumptious and the service was 5 STAR . With the ambiance of a small town cafe , including wine tasting! It's just an amazing experience all around ! Can't wait to go again .

Great spot to stop by in Old Colorado City. Wines are very unique as the grapes are grown and harvested here in Colorado. There is a plethora of options to choose from, ranging from classics like cabs and syrahs as well as special fruit wines. The atmosphere is homey and comfortable, perfect to sip your wine and have great conversation. We will definitely be back next time we're in town. Cheers!

We stopped in here one night while in the springs during torrential down pouring rain. The entire street was flooding fast and while no one was in there at the start, the spot soon filled up! We loved doing the wine tasting and trying some of the Colorado creations. But what we loved most was the sassy bar tender with the excellent recommendations, and the local couples that were in there as a part of their regular Friday and Saturday nights. This little spot has several unique wines of their own that you can sample right at the counter. The bar tender is usually the one who is also packing sandwiches or little side dishes for people to purchase which was lovely for us, as the rain was not going to allow us to walk the Main Street. The wine we liked the most was their Port, but we also bought a Cabernet Franc and the white blend. Highly recommend as a great stop in after visiting Colorado Springs! We only took one star off because 2 other couples who came by had "booked tastings on their website" but they don't actually have any record of these bookings. We looked online and you can book a tasting but it is kind of pointless to have there if no one working there is expecting these people?

From the moment we walked into the Sweet Elephant, we were pleasantly greeted and immediately taken care of. We started off with a tasting which was an extensive journey of their many lovely red and whites. I am a dry white fan and loved their great selection but also enjoyed their reds as well. I couldn't find a wine that I didn't like, which is unheard of! Afterwards, we enjoyed a glass of wine and food from their Cafe menu. The staff was incredibly attentive the entire time. I have been to so many wineries (please don't judge. I'm just a fan of great wine and great experiences ), and the Sweet Elephant rates incredibly high on my list. They had an extensive amount of lovely wines and staff to go with it. We flew into Colorado and I bought 4 bottles to take home when we did not have the weight to spare. In my opinion, you will not be disappointed with a trip to this lovely winery and great staff. 5 stars for me. Thanks for a great visit!
