Deep Roots Winery is getting transplanted to Golden, making it the second winery leaving RiNo this month.

The eatery and taproom at 2875 Blake St., which has operated there since 2021, will close on Dec. 15 and reopen in mid-January at 1375 Catamount Drive.

But its kitchen and food won’t be making the trip west.

“We’re really looking forward to just focusing on the wine,” said Teara Walters, who owns the spot with her husband, Steve.

The grapes will be joined by hard ciders and lemonade wines, two lines which they can focus on expanding since they won’t make food themselves. For those in need of a bite, rotating food trucks will frequent the new 3,000-square-foot space.

Fellow RiNo winery Infinite Monkey Theorem will also close at the end of this month, citing rising costs and declining wine sales. It will not relocate.

Deep Roots’ move, Walters said, will help the business cut costs and make up for declining revenues over the last two years.

“We’re expecting to start slow but hope to build a following,” she said. “We’ll also be working on distribution now that we’re moving out of the kitchen, which hadn’t been something we did because we couldn’t produce enough volume with the food.”
