Menu for The Winery At Holy Cross Abbey in Cañon City, CO

This place is great, but Becky the waitress makes the experience one worth having! Her knowledge of wine and your pallette to... know what else you might or might not like is unreal! She was an absolute joy! An absolute 10 out of 10! Go and ask forBecky! **cash is REQUIRED FOR TIPPING, if you're doing a tasting you can not tip on your card** Read more

Winery was great, $10 to taste everything. Don't recommend getting food through their "side hustle" as they called it. The... sandwich was thick, very cold bread with very little meat. The cheese plate came with moldy fruit and stale crackers. They mustassemble these ahead of time because all of the soft cheeses had hard edges like they were cut days ago. Read more

Sommelier was very knowledgeable and friendly. Service was prompt and thoughtful even though they were busy. I prefer very dry... wine and they didn't have much, but it was still fun. They allow you to bring food which was helpful. Read more

Stopped here on our way out of town after a day of hiking. So glad we drove by and saw the Abbey! The scenery is gorgeous, and... so nice to sit on their patio and enjoy some wine. We each bought a few bottles, I bought one of the Norton and the Sav Blanc.I was seriously impressed with the Norton, I don?t enjoy red wine. The sweet wines were well done, I just don?t like sweet winein general. The staff was so knowledgeable, recalling all the details of how each wine was made. They were also all veryfriendly and kind, really capping off a wonderful experience. Overall, will be stopping here on my next time in town! Read more

We didn't make a reservation here, but were seated fairly quickly on the patio. We requested to do a wine tasting and although... the lady that helped us was nice, it took over an hour to sample 12 wines. She brought out 3 bottles to sample at a time, butthen went back inside for 15-20 minutes (to chat with her co-workers) before coming back outside with the next 3 tastings. Thatmakes sense if you're poured a full glass of wine (for time to enjoy it), but it doesn't take 20 minutes to take 3 sips of wine! We were talking with the 2 guys at the table sitting next to us who were also wondering why they don't just do the tastinginside at the counter like most other wineries do - unless you request to sit outside? There was only 2 other customers therewhile we were. It's like we were all seated outside together on the chilly patio (intentionally) so that we wouldn't interrupttheir conversation inside. My wife and I have done tastings at over 100 wineries, and it's never taken over an hour (to do atasting) - even during peak hours. We generally do a tasting, then buy a bottle of our favorite wine (off the list) to sit andenjoy for awhile. Even though this was an unusual experience, we did enjoy the Colorado Divinity very much and purchased a fewbottles to take with us. We just wouldn't recommend you going here if you're on a timeline or have other scheduled stops onyour agenda for the day. Read more
