Fox Fire Farms

Fox Fire Farms is a family-owned winery and working sheep ranch in the Pine River valley east of Ignacio, Colorado, about 30 miles southeast of Durango. The Jones, Parry and Payne families have farmed the land since Arthur and Dovie Jones purchased their first parcel in 1916, and the operation was named Fox Fire Farms in the 1970s after the Foxfire books. In 2016 it was recognized as a Colorado Centennial Farm for more than 100 years of continuous family operation, and a sheep appears on every bottle in honor of that ranching history. The winery sits at 6,500 feet on a 910-acre ranch and works with cold-climate hybrid grapes including Marquette, Corot Noir, Traminette, Brianna, Petite Pearl, Marechal Foch, Vignoles and Aromella, alongside Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. Its 2012 Marquette won Best of Show and Triple Gold at the Colorado State Fair, and its Aromella took Best White Wine at the 2025 Governor's Cup. Visitors can taste wines in the tasting room, attend Friday-night summer concerts with food and music, or book private winter tastings by appointment. The property also includes a restored historic one-room schoolhouse.
