Locally owned and guided
The knowledge behind the route.
More than designated driving: local hosts who coordinate the route and connect the landscape, producers, agriculture, and stories between each stop.
A different kind of tour
The road between stops should help you understand where you are, not just move you from one tasting room to the next.
Why local knowledge matters
Built around place, people, and curiosity.
Western Colorado Wine Tour is owned and operated by Dave Noe and Jo Ann Jarreau. Together, they also operate Colorado Detours.
Their work brings together wine country, agriculture, geology, natural history, scenic roads, and the practical planning that makes a day feel easy.
Every experience begins with the same question: what would help this group understand and enjoy Western Colorado more fully?
How the two names fit together
Two names. One local perspective.
Explore local wineries with Western Colorado Wine Tour, or head beyond the vineyards with Colorado Detours. The same local guides help you plan a day around the places and interests you want to explore.
Colorado Detours
Black Canyon, scenic and geology routes, orchards, farms, and seasonal custom days.

You should feel looked after, informed, and free to settle into the experience.
How we plan
A thoughtful route starts before pickup.
We review the season, travel time, access, available stops, group interests, and pickup needs before the day is confirmed.
- A route shaped around the time available
- Clear pickup, timing, inclusions, and price before confirmation
- Room to share mobility, dietary, service-animal, or other access needs
- Current conditions and participating-stop requirements considered in the plan
