Carboy Winery, Littleton
Whether you're a wine lover or simply seeking a charming atmosphere to unwind, Carboy Winery is a must-visit destination that brings the essence of Colorado Wine Country to the Front Range. The girls and I visited Carboy Winery's flagship location in Littleton for a little hump-day treat. The winery lies about 20 minutes south of Denver.
We arrived at Carboy Winery in Littleton and we were seated by the bar before moving to the tasting room. The aesthetic was cozy and rustic with lots of warm wood tones and barrels throughout the space. There was a shop area where customers could browse and purchase a large selection of Carboy’s wines as well as wine-related items.
We began our experience with the On Cloud Wine Tasting - hosted by our wine specialist & Assistant Manager, Victoria. This elevated tasting featured five distinctive carboy wines (only $20/person). Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious novice, the knowledgeable and friendly staff at Carboy Winery will guide you through a tasting. Victoria was amazing and had a wealth of information to impart about the winery and each wine we tried.
We started with the Rosé La La La, 2021 from Horse Heaven Hills, WA. The Rosé La La La was the highlight of our tasting. Its complex flavors and subtle floral bouquet made it a delightful choice. We loved it and this was all of our favorites.
Carboy's Happy Hour runs from 3-6pm daily & boasts a Board & Bottle deal for $35 (choose a bottle of Carboy red or white and one of their charcuterie boards).
For Boards we had the Red Rocker with two meats, two cheeses and accompaniments.
Next up in our tasting was the BLAN.CO White Blend from Grand Valley CO. The BLAN.CO had a medium body, balanced acidity, and notes of honeydew melon & Anjou pear.
For Snacks we had the Baked Goat Cheese and the Salmon Dip.
The Baked Goat Cheese was made with apples, apricots, & black pepper honey, and served with ciabatta. The goat cheese was a major crowd pleaser. The cheese had a tangy and tart flavor that was complemented by the sweet honey & apricots.
For Bruschetta we had the Bacon Jam & Ricotta with Truffle Honey.
The Bacon Jam Bruschetta made for satisfying bites - sweet, caramelized jam with a touch of bacon smokiness.
For Sweets we had the Dessert Board. The Dessert Board came with Chocolate Pot De Creme, Salted Caramel Panna Cotta, Dark Truffles, & Creme Brulee.
The Chocolate Pot De Creme was my favorite - a light chocolate custard with a fluffy, pudding-like texture.
With dessert we had the Teroldego from Grand Valley CO and a Syrah. The Teroldego red wine had a bold freshness and a taste of expressive alpine fruit.
Big thanks to Carboy Winery, Victoria, & Carolyn Schwartz for hosting us!
