Our first few days in Palisade have been awesome!  This place is everything we imagined and hoped it would be with a few perks we didn’t anticipate.  There are close to a dozen wineries in this town of 3,500, fantastic boozing establishments and a ton of fruit farms sporting cherry’s, peaches, apricots and so much more.  Check out a few that we’ve managed to hit up already.  More to come!

The brewery: To our delight, not only did they have great beer, but they smoke their own meat!

 

DeBeque Winery: After a beautiful hike we headed out to sample one of the local wineries.  Amy and I each received 4 complimentary tastings.  The wine is generally bold and dry.  We enjoyed the Malbec and Port and ended up buying a couple of bottles.  The Pinot Noir was also pretty awesome.

 

The Peach Street Distillery:  It just happened to be next door to the winery.  We had a great experience at the tasting bar and enjoyed the generous pours on the drinks.
