Wineries of the Grand Valley Map
Tasting Room Hints • Use a designated driver and drink responsibly. • Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Our high desert climate is very dry. • Most wineries’ tastings are complimentary. • Ask questions. Don’t be intimidated. Wine tasting is entirely subjective. Let your taste decide what wines you like and dislike. • Wine tasting is a sensory experience, so let your senses explore the wine. Swirl the wine in your glass to release more of the character and bouquet. Savor the aroma, the color and the layers of flavor. (How does the wine feel in your mouth?) • Tell your server what you like and don’t like. Be honest if you don’t like something, so your server can help you select a wine you will enjoy. Try to imagine how a wine will taste when paired with different foods. Wine Country Tours The companies below offer a variety of exclusive tours orchestrated perfectly from pick-up to drop-off.

You can tour Colorado’s Wine Country by car or bicycle, or simply end your day of outdoor activity with a friendly visit with a local vintner. Each winery has its own personality and charm. Some offer areas for your own picnic and facilities for events, weddings, parties and musical performances. Your hosts are hospitable and experienced – tap in to their knowledge about wine making in Colorado. All of the Grand Valley wineries are just minutes from downtown Grand Junction. Refer to the wine tour map and see that there are concentrations of wineries in the Palisade region. You can visit a string of wineries by starting in Palisade (I-70, exit 42) or in The Redlands (I-70, exit 28). The rolling farmland offers you wide-open views of the Book Cliffs, Mt. Garfield, the Grand Mesa and the Colorado National Monument. While you are traveling through Palisade, look for the Palisade Fruit and Wine Byway road signs to help guide your adventure. Of course, we recommend a designated driver for a day of comparing the wines of the region.
