Dancing Pines opens tasting room in Estes

ESTES PARK – Loveland-based Dancing Pines Distillery has opened a tasting room in downtown Estes Park.

The new tasting room in the former Prospect Inn, a 104-year-old building at 207 Park Lane, which opened Sept. 6, will be open from 1 to 8 p.m. daily and serve samples and cocktails.

When Dancing Pines’ main distillery and tasting room opened in 2010 at 1533 Taurus Court in Loveland, it was the first in that city and one of the first 20 licensed distilleries in Colorado. Husband-and-wife owners Kristian and Kimberly Naslund and partner Chris McNay distribute their products in Colorado and 25 other states.

The Estes Park tasting room “has a great patio that overlooks (Bond) Park, and you can see Longs Peak from there,” Kimberly Naslund said.

The distillery produces several varieties of liqueurs and rums as well as bourbon, gin and brandy. Kimberly Naslund said the distillery has just introduced a vodka and is about to unveil rye and single-malt whiskeys.
