The eleven winemakers of the North Fork Valley invite you to the 4th annual West Elks Wine Trail being held August 2 through 5.  This is your opportunity to not only taste their wine, but to sample winemaker selected food and wine pairings.  Visit five wineries and receive a complimentary wine glass.  Collect winemaker recipes at each winery to produce a memorable recipe book. 

Make this weekend a mini-vacation.  Arrive Thursday and kick off the weekend by attending the free concert in Paonia’s town park.  Friday and Saturday you can pick up a map and follow the wine trail.  Not to be missed are the dinners being offered by some of the wineries:
