Palisade Pairs well with a Winter Getaway!
Colorado’s wine country is spectacular to visit all year long. In spring, the peach orchards are blossoming. In summer, the sun is shining and the vines are ripening. In early fall, the harvest begins … but have you considered visiting Palisade in the winter for a unique wine country experience?
