Partnerships

Over the years Sutcliffe Vineyards has established relationships with a growing number of brilliant restaurants, resorts, and merchants. Creating wines together, holding events and providing a welcoming place to share wine, study, and develop. We are proud and grateful for these friendships which are understood and enjoyed by our loyal following of wine lovers.

    Dunton Hot Springs - Dunton, CO

    Johannes and Paul, the sons of Dunton's owners Katrin and Christoph Henkel, spent summer after summer at the Vineyard during their summer holidays from boarding school in England. Their involvement was absolute, laboring in the vines, during harvest and in the demanding creation of the wine. It was only a short step to use our shared knowledge and friendship to craft wines that would reflect the brilliance and distinctiveness of the Dunton resort.

  • Three women sitting at a table with a wine bottle, glasses of wine, and a bouquet of pink and purple flowers, with two closed books on the table.

    Telluride Ski & Golf - Telluride, CO

    A friendship had developed between SV's winemakers and some genuine young wine buffs in Telluride. At some point a plan was hatched to make a wine together, a big wine, a lusty wine that might be perfect for Telluride Ski and Golf and their colorful, eccentric clientele. The Vineyards crafting of the Telluride Red has prospered for 15 years, thank you Telluride Ski and Golf to allow us to enjoy this genuine partnership. We love seeing our blend at Alpino Vino, Tomboy Tavern, Allred's, and the newly opened wine bar in Mountain Village, Communion.

  • A wine bottle with a black label that reads 'Tinderbox Colorado 2017,' featuring a T-shaped corkscrew graphic, placed on a round coaster on a table with a vase of dried and green plants and a white napkin holder in the background.

    Tinderbox - Flagstaff, AZ

    John Sutcliffe had the temerity to persuade Kevin Heinon, the owner of the Tinder Box and 3 other restaurants that SV should make their Proprietary wine, days after the first met. Kevin assumed that SV would want some money up front to embark upon this plan. Not so, "the wine we make together will be terrific and I will have no problem selling it elsewhere if you fink out." Sutcliffe replied. A fabulous parnership was established and has continued seamlessly for 12 years.

  • Several bottles of wine with corks in the necks placed on a wooden bar counter. A man in a light blue shirt is in the background, smelling a glass of wine inside a bar with a well-stocked liquor shelf.

    Eolus - Durango, CO

    We have also felt a deep connection to Eolus as they began serving our wines on their opening day. We had watched James and Arche develop this beautiful restaurant and were delighted when it became theirs alone. Their "Blustery Red" is a joint effort with the Vineyard and we constantly receive accolades on how well it works with their constantly creative menu. We are luck enough to have lots more of our wines on their list.
