Established in 2018 by Shawn and Alexis Kauffman. Shawn was in the Army and served as a Special Forces Operator who retired after 26 years. They initially planted over 1400 Malbec grape vines in the Spring of 2018 hoping to produce a high-altitude grape that rivals with those coming from Argentina. They continue their endeavor in maturing their grapevines. Come visit their winery and tasting room in Penrose.

Chill Switch Wines is a family-owned boutique winery in Cedaredge, Colorado. Winemaker Dave Aschwanden creates his wines with patience and old world techniques that allow the wine to develop its complex flavors naturally. We age our reds in french oak for 30 months, our whites between 18-30 months in stainless steel. Crafted exclusively from grapes grown in Colorado, all Chill Switch wines are made without adulteration: no freaky stuff. No color enhancers, flavorings, artificial aromas, stabilizers, clarifiers etc. Do you want a wine without all the adjustments and additions so common in most mass produced wines? Do you want a wine that is also vegan, that is without the animal based fining/filtering materials so often used? Then reach for Chill Switch

With a deep understanding of their craft, the Deep Roots family has curated an array of exquisite wines. Knowledge of varietals, blending techniques, and soil composition allows them to develop a balanced flavor using both Colorado and California-grown grapes with low-sulfite levels. In the kitchen, recipes are strategically designed to align with the wine menu, each created with selections from local producers and farmers. At Deep Roots, guests can be assured that there are experts behind the scenes, but they’re wearing aprons instead of lab coats.
