Our Story

Mario and Tracy Vargas founded Sangria de Las Montañas in 2021 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado after Tracy retired from the U.S. Army, and they returned from living in Germany. The couple first met while Tracy was serving with the Peace Corps in Mario’s home country of El Salvador from 2003 to 2006. Mario’s background in the restaurant industry in El Salvador and his passion for fine food and drink were further developed when he moved to Steamboat Springs, CO in 2020 after Tracy accepted a position as a physician with UC Health.

Mountain Sangria uses locally sourced ingredients, along with traditional recipes, to create a multi-cultural, small batch experience of ready to drink alcoholic beverages.  We are proud to prepare and bottle our beverages in Hayden, Colorado in partnership with Alpine Glow.
