About The Cellar on Railroad…

The Cellar on Railroad is an intimate wine bar, modern tapas restaurant, and event venue located in the historic heart of Buena Vista, Colorado.

The Cellar on Railroad opened its doors in 2020 and has quickly become a popular gathering space for lifelong wine enthusiasts as well as the wine-curious to discover bar-setting bottles from across the globe.

Their philosophy is simple: great wine is honest wine. They intentionally feature producers who seek a true expression of their region, without the addition of coloring agents, pesticides, herbicides, and other unnecessary additives. This typically means each bottle will vary year to year, telling a story of its specific season. These are wines that excite, surprise and spark conversation, right down to the very last drop.
