Make this holiday season unforgettable with gifts that capture the warmth and spirit of Palisade!

 

Wine at Mafia Princess 

Gift in a Bottle

In a land flowing with wine and peaches, we suggest giving the gift of locally made wine. With over 30 wineries in the area to choose from, you’ll find the perfect blend for everyone on your list. Whether it's a bold red for cozy winter nights or a crisp white for festive gatherings, there’s a bottle waiting to be wrapped with care. Browse our list of wineries to find their award-winning creations. Call for hours and availability.

If your gift recipient is more into craft spirits, pop into Clark & Co’s Distilling for holiday-themed drinks like gingerbread moonshine or honey bourbon. Peach Street Distillers offers iconic Colorado favorites like Colorado Straight Rye Whiskey and Goat Artisan Vodka. Pair that with a sleek copper mug or a classy rocks glass, and you've got a gift that’ll be the toast of the town!

 

Give the Gift of Experience

Sometimes, the perfect gift isn’t an item. It’s an experience of sharing laughter and memories with loved ones.

(Guided tours available by request).
