I'm not a fan of Chardonnay, and the staff was happy to substitute a rosé instead, which I really appreciated. The outdoor seating area is beautiful, with gorgeous mountain and vineyard views. We visited on a 95-degree day, so a few more umbrellas for shade would have made the experience even better. After our tastings, we each ordered a glass of our favorite wine and spent some time enjoying the scenery. There were quite a few flies outside, but that's to be expected at a vineyard during the summer and didn't take away from the experience. The wines were good, the staff was very friendly and accommodating, and the views were absolutely worth the visit. We'd definitely recommend stopping by if you're exploring Palisade wine country.

Kristen was incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and attentive. We enjoyed several private events at the winery throughout the weekend, and everything was beautifully done. The food was delicious and thoughtfully paired with a variety of wines from their collection. Even though the winery was buzzing with activity, the West family and staff were such amazing hosts. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made us feel as though, in a room full of people, we were the most important guests there. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this family and their beautiful vineyard. Their attention to detail was impressive. While the wine was delicious, it was Kristen, her family, and the team who truly made our weekend fun, relaxing, and memorable. Everything was perfect from start to finish.

We only had one time when our server seemed to disappear (why does that always happen when you are ready to pay and leave?) but the other times were great and chatting with them about their experiences was very pleasant. The first night we had fish, which was a little overcooked and too dependent on the sauces. For lunch we had a very yummy flatbread that was so nice with a glass of wine. Our second dinner was burgers with blue cheese, one of my favorites, and prepared perfectly. The dill potato salad was particularly good and the bun for the burger was really nice. We enjoyed several of the wines during our visits and they were all good. We didn't have a charcuterie board this time, which we have enjoyed in the past, partly because the price has become rather high.

Restoration Vineyards, Palisades , Colorado - July 13, 2026…read more This is a beautiful winery with a modern indoor tasting room and large beautiful outdoor covered grassy area with lots of tables and chairs that has a nice stage for music events. We tasted indoors. Zander was our server and he was terrific! My wife and I shared a tasting and Zander did a great job describing the wines. The wines I've tried from other wineries in this area typically aren't my favorite. I tend to pick up a flavor that is faintly herbaceous on just about every varietal I've tried. Kind of like a stemy character. Not overpowering, but just not my favorite. Not the case with any of the wines we tried at Restoration. The flavor profiles were spot on. All the wines we had were terrific - Chardonnay, Riesling, Rose, Semillon, Pinotage, Barbera, Cab. Franc, and Red Blend. Winery owner, Gary, happened to hear me mention how much I liked the wines here and how I had been picking up the stemy character from other wines in the area. He explained that Restoration uses a unique processes to help eliminate that character. Realizing how much we liked the wines here, Gary opened a bottle of Semillion that was not part of the tasting flight. It had won a double gold medal at the San Francisco Wine Competition and came in second in Best of class. What a delight! I highly recommend this winery!

Even though it was 95°F outside, we stayed comfortable thanks to the plenty of shaded seating and outdoor misters. There are cozy chairs on the lawn where we spent quite a while enjoying our wine and the scenery. The winery is also pet-friendly both inside and outside, which was a huge plus for us. They don't serve food, but they typically have food trucks on-site. We did the tasting, which included all six wines currently available. My favorite was the White Blend, while my husband's favorite was the Red Blend. The staff was incredibly friendly. After we ordered our tasting inside, they even brought the remaining pours out to me while I was relaxing outside, which was such a thoughtful touch. Overall, Restoration Vineyards offers beautiful views, great wine, excellent service, and a very welcoming atmosphere. We would absolutely visit again.

Oh my goodness, what an amazing way to spend an afternoon in Palisades!…read more On a recent trip to CO from FL, my wife and I spent the day visiting several wineries but Blue Beryl was the highlight, for sure. The location was incredible, the views from the tasting room were breathtaking but the wines made the day - our tasting consisted of 8 recent releases, including a really great Chenin Blanc and their award-winning Reserve Malbec, among others. The ownership was on site, personable and working hard, alongside our incredible server / bartender Amy, who spent over an hour with us, sharing stories about each of the wines, their labels and Palisades history. We will DEFINITELY stop in again on our next trip and will ask for Amy by name.

The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and they do offer a small selection of light bites if you're looking for a snack. My only complaint was the tasting process. Instead of receiving all of your tastings at once, you're given tasting cards and have to go back inside each time you're ready for the next pour. On the plus side, each wine is poured fresh and served cold, but it does interrupt the experience. If you're trying to relax outside and take in the view, getting up every few minutes to go back inside becomes a little frustrating. Overall, the beautiful setting and friendly staff made it a great stop, and I'd definitely recommend visiting the main winery.

For those of you unfamiliar with what a winery collective is all about, it's a "greatest hits" of vino, curated by the owners to give you a tasting experience from all over the region. Colorado Vintner's Collective is new(ish), but what they lack in tenure they make up for in quality wine. Two of the varietals on their tasting list are produced by their proprietors, while the other 3-4 are regional wineries. I did the full tasting and enjoyed a glass of their Animas Chardonnay. It's half oaked, half steel so you get some buttery notes but not a bucket of movie popcorn in your mouth. Compared to other, more crowded wineries in Palisade, this was a treat! There was plenty of seating, no wait time, and a very nice restroom available.
