The Storm Cellar is a high-elevation winery east of Hotchkiss, known for crisp white and rosé wines grown in Western Colorado's dry, bright climate. The setting is part of the visit: open valley, high desert light, and the West Elks beyond the vines.
It is one of the better reasons to include Hotchkiss in a North Fork Valley loop. Check seasonal tasting hours before driving out, since the valley's wineries do not all keep daily year-round schedules.
