Whitewater Hill Vineyards is a family-owned winery founded in 1999 by Nancy Janes and John Behrs, sitting atop its namesake hill outside Grand Junction with views of the vineyards and the Book Cliffs. The vineyard, planted in 2004, grows European and cold-hardy grape varieties in mineral-rich limestone soils at 4,600 feet elevation. Its tasting room is open daily and pours dry whites, dry reds, semi-sweets and dessert wines, with tastings complimentary for club members or with a two-bottle purchase.
