FOURTH QUARTER
BALISTRERI VINEYARD WINE TOUR
BY MARCIA CHRISTIANSEN | OCT 2018

We had a fantastic group for our winery tour and lunch. Balistreri Vineyards is a family-owned and operated winery located 10 minutes from downtown Denver. We were able to see how they handcraft their wine, without addition of sulfites or other chemicals. The wine making process starts with crushing and allowing the wine to ferment. This process creates a lot of heat that is tempered by an evaporative cooling system. Then the wine is off to the cellar. Our tour included meeting the family, John Balistreri, his wife Birdie and their daughter Julie. This was a relaxing end to an fantastic conference.
