Longmont Farmers Market

Come one, come all! BookCliff Vineyards has been represented at the Longmont Farmers' Market for many years. It's a wonderful place to come on a Saturday mornings and support local agricultural producers whom sell their products to the public themselves. You will find a variety of Colorado-grown produce, all the way from conventional methods of growing down to those who are certified organic growers. The farmers markets have opened their doors to not just large farmers, but local food vendors, wine vendors, and even local artists. There is always a little something for everyone.
Every week BookCliff Vineyards sets up our tent with various wines for you to taste. Since we take great pride in being 100% Colorado-grown, farm table wine the Longmont Farmers Market is a great place for us to showcase our product. We have up to five different wines every week to taste, a couple of reds and whites, and even a sweet wine. Be sure to come early as most wines do sell out pretty early on, such as our Touch of Red (a local favorite). Doors open at 8:00am and go till 1:00pm. So come on down and support local! Cheers!

Unoaked Chardonnay

BookCliff Vineyards has decided to dress up its Chardonnay in new clothes, and has released anUnoaked Chardonnay. Chardonnay is changing. You can find Chardonnays all the way from buttery Chardonnay's with strong oak flavors to crisp unoaked Chardonnays. New wine regions, such as Colorado, want to break away from the buttery, oaky Chardonnay's as made famous in Napa and Sonoma Valley and have experimented with unoaked Chardonnay. Over the years BookCliff Vineyards Chardonnay has remained very fruit forward, as is true for our 2012 varietal as well. For fun  we decided to release a version aged in oak barrels (Chardonnay 2012) and a version aged in our stainless steel tanks(Unoaked Chardonnay 2012). The oak version has more complexity, but the oak will also cover up some of the fruit. The unoaked Chardonnay promises to be more of a crowd pleaser. Come into our newly remodeled tasting room in Boulder and taste our oaked, and unoaked Chardonnays and be the judge! Cheers!

New Tasting Room

We recently embarked on a new remoldeling project in our tasting room. We thought updating and adding additional seating would really open up the room. The floor is all brand new and the walls are freshly painted. The idea is to bring in a warm atmosphere and provide plenty of seating for you all to sit and mingle and enjoy BookCliff's fine wine. With summer rapidly approaching, we wanted to create a warm environment for everyone to relax and enjoy wine, maybe after a long hike. So please come in and check out all the new and exciting things happening here at BookCliff Vineyards. We can't wait to serve you all up a fine glass of wine while you put your feet up and relax with friends! Cheers!
