General Info:

Owner Marko Ćopić originates from Jastrebarsko, Croatia and brings 20 years of "Old World" and Mediterranean style wine making experience to Colorado, combining them with his modern wine making techniques to offer a vastly different wine tasting experience to the Colorado viticultural scene. Established in 2013. Owner Marko Copic handmade all of the furniture for the Purgatory Cellars Winery Tasting Room while living in Croatia and imported all of the furniture and all of his wine making equipment to Parker, CO. All of the construction in the Winery was also done by Marko with the basic concept being an "Old World" European feel combined with a high tech industrial manufacturing facility producing world class wines where you can see the wine making happening right before your very eyes. Purgatory Cellars Winery maintains a comfortable atmosphere for enjoying either an exquisite tasting, or just enjoying a glass of wine. Specialties Purgatory Cellars works hard to source most of our grapes from Colorado and to exploit the qualities of Colorado's unique climate and significant elevation features. Purgatory Cellars is working to bring specific qualities of grapes from the Western Slopes and Four Corners regions of Colorado to the Front Range. We are making and aging wine in Amphora containers with their origin going back about 5,000 years in ancient Greek and Roman history when Amphorae were used in the preservation and transportation of various products both liquid and dry, but mainly for wine making. The Amphorae are made from special clay in the country of Georgia and infused with bees wax and then baked in a wood fired kiln until the bees wax is completely infused in the pot. This wine making technique provides flavors and characteristics different from other aging methods. Drop in to see these beautiful containers that just arrived from overseas (Georgia). They are truly one of a kind for wine making with only a select few found in the entire United States.
