Aspen Peak Cellars at Grow Your Own

For Christmas 2005, Marcel gave Julie a wine making kit. Little did they know that this new hobby would quickly get out of control and would lead to their latest business venture, a winery, bistro, B&B combination, established in 2009 at the historic Clifton House Inn in Conifer. Quickly, they were able to establish this unique Denver Foothills getaway.

Their guests could explore the wonderful world of food, wine and lodging in a quaint family atmosphere. It was the Summer of 2011 where lightning hit the 140-year old barn on the property and was destroyed by fire, resulting in the loss of their special events venue. This unfortunate circumstance lead to moving their business to a new, larger winemaking facility in Bailey, which they opened in 2012.
