Flying T Wine is a tiny, appointment-only vineyard on the Tomac family's working ranch in McElmo Canyon. The one-acre vineyard sits on a south-facing slope below Battle Rock, making this a deliberately small-scale stop for visitors interested in the agricultural story behind Southwest Colorado wine.
What to expect
The Tomac family settled in McElmo Canyon in 1993 and later added a small vineyard to the ranch. The producer's signature Flying T Red is tied closely to the canyon's rock, sand and south-facing vineyard site.
This is not a drop-in tasting room. The Colorado Wine Industry Development Board lists visits as appointment only, so the experience depends on arranging access directly with the winery.
Before you go
- Call before building Flying T into the route; all visits are by appointment.
- Ask where to enter and park when confirming, because this is a working ranch.
- The listing does not publish regular tasting hours or a public tasting fee.
- We have withheld a map pin until the exact public visitor entrance can be verified.
