EsoTerra’s Arboretum & Winery – Historic Orchard & Craft Cider Getaway About Your Host Welcome to Southwestern Colorado’s first estate orchard winery and a true living museum of American history. Founded by a forester and an architect, EsoTerra is dedicated to reviving the wild Southwest’s nearly abandoned historic apple industry. Our property is more than just a gorgeous stopover—it is a conservation hub home to over 200 rare, heritage, and feral apple varieties dating back to the mining communities of the 1880s. We rescue these disappearing genetics by grafting them onto new rootstock, keeping centuries-old stories alive in every bottle. When you stay with us, you aren't just parking your rig; you are immersing yourself in a vibrant, community-focused sanctuary where nature, history, and incredible craft fermentation meet. The Experience Park your rig and head down to the Arboretum Tasting Room, a beautifully curated space designed to let you experience the land through your glass. We proudly serve internationally award-winning, bone-dry, and complex artisanal ciders crafted primarily from heritage apple and pear varieties and wines made from grapes sourced from western Colorado. Our Promise: We stand by the simple truth that Fruit + Yeast + Time create the finest products. Our ciders and wines contain no added sugars, no artificial flavorings, and no colorings. Depending on the evening, your stay might include relaxing to local live music which includes our Sip ‘n Song Saturday and Open Mic Music on Sundays, or participating in one of our hands-on community workshops. Or just unwind and stretch your legs on our spacious outdoor patio, or take stroll around our 70+ acre grounds where we have two ponds, 600+ tree orchard and many acres of grapes where you can watch the sunset or sunrise over the San Juan Mountains, and take in the 360 degree views and clean SW Colorado air.
