The scenery is…read morebeautiful, and it's a wonderful place to sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy the surroundings. 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.

Nick and Holly are incredibly welcoming, and the small, intimate setting made the experience feel truly special. Every course was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully paired with both Maison La Belle Vie wines and imported French wines. The food, wine, and service were all outstanding, but what impressed us most was the attention to detail. They even created nearly an entirely separate menu for a guest with food allergies, along with thoughtful non-alcoholic pairings. These weren't simply substitutions, but completely different dishes prepared with the same care and creativity. They truly thought of everything. A wonderful experience from beginning to end, and one we would absolutely recommend.

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.

We had already strung together a nice wine tour on the Friday and then we we did parks on Saturday. When we were back in town Sunday I suggested we swing back through Palisade(our Airbnb was in Grand Junction) and see if there was another bottle of wine we might like. After 1 other spot we swung by Hermosa Vineyards. It was a humbler operation than some we noted, as we pulled in. I sorta like that over a grandiose entrance. The tasting room was even more humble in size and layout. As we walked in a larger group was just leaving and bought a few wines, so I figured it must be pretty good. It was good overall. The vintner was also our bartender he said. He told us alot about the history of him and the place. We learned alot about the produce he had growing as well. We were the only customers at that moment so he was especially chatty with us. It was a nice stop, we didn't get a bottle here, but we did appreciate the vibe.

As my expectation for this small but reputable winery grew as the day of the trip was near, today, I have the pleasure of writing this 5-star review to add to others' raves after I had a wonderful time spending 30 minutes at this one of a kind winery a few days ago. Kenneth was the most experienced/knowledgeable wine makers out of all 11 places I got to visit in Palisade mid this week. He certainly knows what wine making is all about and I could taste the precision he puts into each varietal. No wonder his place is ranked one of the top Colorado wineries. Hermosa is small and quaint but big doesn't always describe the success of a/any business. I certainly see that his pride as a wine maker is reflected in the kind of winery he runs: no extravagance, no big/expensive sign. Some great business is not always on the main/busy street; hence the expression, "hidden gem". Ken's winery is a hidden gem of Colorado's wine country is an understatement. His wines are not cheap like other wineries' wines so expect pay $5 to $10 more. But once you have tasted the qualities of his wines after a flight, you WILL be convinced to buy a bottle or two.
