Upon founding the Tailing Loop Winery, we had a clear goal: to emphasize both the astounding natural beauty of Montana along with its rich history by preserving and building upon the honorable traditions of the Mountain West. We had a vision of what our establishment would look like, and when we located the Glacier Gallery property in the scenic Flathead Valley, we felt that it was the perfect embodiment of that core concept.
The grit of the structure's long history is a testament the devotion of the previous owner, Dr. Van Kirke Nelson, MD and his family. It was that essence that appealed to us on a deeper level. In continuation of the artistic tradition of the space, the work of a variety of talented Montana artists will be displayed upon the walls of the tasting room, featuring those landscapes and images that emphasize the splendor of the Montana West.

Services
Our menu features a variety of red and white wines from all branches of the wine spectrum, as well as several wine "cocktails" and house-made Meads. Wine flights are also available for those who wish to challenge their taste buds. We regularly feature Live Music in the Tasting Room, including our Open Mic Night, Classy Karaoke, and other artist features throughout the month.
In its former life, our Tasting Room was a landmark in the Kalispell community as the Glacier Art Gallery. Owned and operated by renowned local physician, Dr. Van Kirk Nelson, the gallery hosted a variety of Western and Native American paintings, sculptures, and other works of art. We at the Tailing Loop have strived to maintain and preserve the historic beauty of the building, and we wanted to share this rich background with you.
We at the Tailing Loop Winery pride ourselves on our flexibility regarding any and all customer requests. Big or small, we will do our best to accommodate your wishes. Please fill out your contact information to the right and provide a brief description of you request. We look forward to hearing from you!

While on vacation we always look for wineries. So lucky to find one we really enjoyed. The reds we enjoyed and bought 3 bottles. Really enjoyed talking with the wine maker. She shared so much about herself and how the winery became her love. Her 3 big cats made our day. So friendly. Call to check on hours they change.

AMAZING! If you are in town, stop by and try the wines. We're from Southern California (Temecula is our wine area) and this place was just as good! The winery boasts a unique vibe that is relaxing and beautiful. I ordered a red flight (pinot noir, Temp, Carmenere, and Cab) we ended up buying a bottle of the Carmenere! The owner is so much fun and we loved her story about the birth of this winery. The charcuterie board (blueberry buffalo and elk sausage) is tasty and went so well with the wine. Family friendly, great service and wonderful staff. Plus the owner will ship her wines!

This is place is a true gem. Meredith, the owner, has poured her heart and soul into this place and it shows. Great atmosphere, awesome live music from talented local artists, delicious food trucks, and a customer community that clearly cares about supporting this business. Definitely worth a visit.
They also serve some really nice wine. The Sangiovese was a stand out.
