Our  vision brings the first working Winery and Tasting Room to an Urban  setting in  Historic Downtown Grand Junction.  We  don’t have a vineyard – our wines are hand-crafted, and bottled on-site  in our craft brewery-style winery. Sourcing the best grapes we can find  is the first and most important step in our wine making process. We  create partnerships with small, family-owned vineyards primarily from  the US west coast and Western Colorado by contracting acreage on their  vineyards. When harvest time comes and depending on the final wine in  mind, the grapes are crushed and de-stemmed in the fields; creating a  grape must. The grapes; (must) are then brought back to our winery.

It  is here that we begin the wine making process from full fermentation,  barrel-aging, filtration, bottling and labeling. When we began this  venture, we decided that it made the most sense to  keep things small, efficient and manageable. Even as we grow, we keep  things as small-scale as possible.  Human-sized stainless steel tanks, small fermentation bins, and  no-bigger-than-we-need crush equipment. This allows us to experiment and  to craft our wines in small batches.

 In addition to our Craft Wines, we select, pour and share wines from   small, esoteric  wineries from the  Western Slope and Front Range of  Colorado. There is always something  new to taste and try at our Wine  Bar. You will enjoy a  variety of wines  in  an unpretentious, casual  environment with a  professional and  knowledgeable serving staff. Wine  selections rotate monthly; and are  usually paired with our Charcuterie  Boards using locally sourced, and  seasonal cured meats, cheeses,  fruits, and marinated olives made in  house. We share our love of wine  and making it through our unique wine  tasting experience, wine-related  events, tastings, clubs, cooking classes and  other offerings."You'll  Discover It Here!" At Shiras Winery and Wine  Bar, located inside The  Zesty Moose Marketplace.
