Latigo Winery

Latigo Winery was founded in 2017 by Ben and Lisa Nelson, who sold their first bottle in 2020 and initially distributed through local breweries, restaurants, and wine festivals. In June 2024 they opened their tasting room in Black Forest, near Colorado Springs on the Front Range. Ben Nelson serves as winemaker, making approachable wines that aim to express Colorado terroir while preserving varietal character; Lisa Nelson leads tasting and focuses the brand on community and connection. Visitors choose from tasting flights served indoors or outdoors. The winery runs two wine clubs and hosts regular events, including food trucks, live music, paint-and-sip workshops, floral arranging, cookie decorating, and a monthly guided tasting that features guest Colorado wines alongside one Latigo wine. Private events can also be arranged at the tasting room.
