Bugling Elk Vineyards is helping with the Royal Gorge Chamber Alliance in their 4th Annual Golf Fiesta Tournament will be held again at the Four Mile Ranch Golf Club on Saturday, May 11, 2024!

Enjoy authentic Mexican fares, bragging time, and of course congratulate those who won awards.

Royal Gorge Chamber Alliance 4th Annual Golf Tournament - May 11, 2024
Mark your calendars because our 2nd Annual Grape Stomp is going to be on Saturday, 28 SEP 2024
Come out to see us soon if you are interested in our Crimson Cabernet 2022 and Merlot 2022 (Whiskey Barrel Aged) because we are very low on inventory. We have recently bottled our Cabernet Doré (Whiskey Barrel Aged) and our Velvet Red Blend (Marquette, Merlot, Baco Noir & Crimson Cab) from an Art of the Spirit 7 year aged Whiskey Barrel that this blend aged for 3 months before bottling. We have our next Red Blend that will have aged for 5 months on a Art of the Spirit 26 year aged Whiskey Barrel in the near future.
If you are interested in having an event at our facility please reach out directly to Shawn Kauffman @ 719-494-5236. He’ll be able to answer questions and make possible suggestions that tailor to your event.
Bugling Elk Vineyards and Winery was established in 2018 by Shawn and Alexis Kauffman. Shawn was in the Army and served as a Special Forces Operator who retired after 26 years. They initially planted over 1400 Malbec grape vines in the Spring of 2018 hoping to produce a high-altitude grape that rivals with those coming from Argentina. They will continue their endeavor in maturing their grapevines over the coming years, while also focusing on establishing their winery and tasting room which will be opened to the public in late Spring 2023.
Wine Varietals
Come try our many wine varietals from a lovely white to a very dry red all of which are lovely on the pallet
Grape Culture
The Kauffmans are hoping to continue building a more pronounced grape and wine culture in Fremont County which they came to love while stationed in Germany. Being around grapes, producing wine, and sharing a glass of wine has always been a great way to spend quality time with friends and family. We hope you enjoy our wine with your friends and family.
Let’s meet up in real life to share a wide variety of our wine selection!
