Wineries to Try
experience the richness of Colorado’s wine country with 30+ wineries.
Breathe in the sun-warmed air, rich with the scent of ripe grapes and desert sage. Palisade’s vineyards have thrived since the 1970s, thanks to the valley’s dry days and cool nights. By the 1980s, Colorado wines were flowing.
Sip crisp Sauvignon Blanc, bold Cabernet Franc, lush Riesling, and smooth Chardonnay alongside Syrah, Merlot, Viognier, Port, and more. You’ll also find peach, pear, and cherry wines, each glass capturing the flavor and feel of the valley.
