Latigo was the original name of a planned “city center” of Black Forest, Colorado. Latigo never materialized but Black Forest has flourished as a rural and equestrian community on the fringe of Colorado Springs. Our stable of wines are produced in our converted barn primarily from grapes sourced from the western slope of Colorado. The Grand Valley’s high desert terroir, daytime warmth and cool nights produce distinctive fruit forward varietals.
Mad Marmot Meadery crafts high-quality meads with a Colorado First attitude for ingredients.
Located in the historic Manitou Springs Spa Building, Manitou Winery is locally owned and operated. We import the highest quality grapes to ensure top tier, handcrafted wines.

Join us in our tasting room for a memorable experience or relax on the patio and take in the natural beauty of Manitou!
Mountain Spirit Winery opened in 1995 and is a family-owned and operated boutique winery nestled in the high country of the Upper Arkansas River Valley. We produce premium wines on five acres of farmland with apple orchards and an old homestead, surrounded by 14,000-foot mountain vistas. The grapes are trucked in after being freshly picked from the Western Slope vineyards of Colorado.
Co-vintners Terry and Michael Barkett bring state of the art equipment and educational backgrounds of clinical medicine and computer science to Mountain Spirit’s winemaking. This winery is trying to answer the question: “Everyone has a Merlot and Chardonnay. Do you have anything different to offer?” We continue to explore new blends of wines while maintaining high standards inherent to the gentle art of winemaking, which gives rise to our motto:
“Quality wines with a difference.”
