Plot a Vine Journey

The North Fork Valley has sips to savor across a dozen wineries between Paonia and Hotchkiss. To help plan your tasting journey, the West Elks AVA (American Viticultural Area) released the West Elks Wine Trail Map in spring 2022. The map is particularly handy for two annual celebrations of the valley’s winemaking—North Fork Uncorked, June 9–11, 2023, and West Elks Wine Trail weekend, August 4–6. The map can also be put to good use while planning a weekend getaway—look over the weekly events section to make the most of your travel. Find the map at westelksava.com.
