The Holy Cross Abbey in Cañon City was originally a working monastery and boarding school. Built in 1925, the property sits on 180 acres and was once home to more than 90 monks and 250 students. As the school closed, the monks looked to repurpose the gorgeous property. A trip to perform an exorcism at a winery in Palisade, Colorado opened their eyes to the potential of a winery at Holy Cross Abbey, and the rest is history. Now the winery offers tastings, local events and sells their wine at more than 200 locations along the Front Range. Listen in to learn more about the rich history of the Holy Cross Abbey and other must-see attractions in the Royal Gorge Region!  Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss our next episode!
