    I HATE posting bad reviews of family and locally owned businesses. Bbbuuutttt I can't give a good…read moreone just because of that and mislead people. It's not really anymore out of the way than any other winery so don't let the drive scare you off because people reading this, you may have a better experience than us. FYI for CO winery newbies, sometimes it's good to call and double check if they are open because so many are run by a small group of staff, family, or maybe just one person so pick up the phone and call first instead of giving a bad review to a place you've never seen. We were told they are the only winery in CO to have multigenerational family ownership which is always cool! I think that is why I was so bummed it was disappointing. The tasting room was decorated nicely enough for it being in a home, large and cutely decorated (there is a place who will not be named that is in the most depressing basement ever. Skip that one). What cancels out the cuteness of Ptarmigan/Stoney Mesa was that when we came in, there were a ton of toys strewn around the room which was off putting. When we came in she acted like she was surprised people were there and quickly sort of straighten up the toys just enough for us not to trip. I had to warn my husband more than once not to take a step back at all or he would've squashed her toddler. I'm not sure if that is an improvement from trying to get her from opening and slamming the wine fridge shut for a while. I can't imagine that is good for the product? I'm not trying to sound like I am anti-kid, but there are some places that I expect not to see a baby and a toddler and everything that goes with them. I felt like we had inconvenienced a new Mom in her napping clothes that was dragged into the family business. It made me feel kind of bad like they didn't give her a choice or something but to work there? Aside from that, she was super nice and knew a bit about the wine for having recently started. We were able to taste as much as we wanted for no charge which is always lovely! There were a few wines that we really liked, more on the dry side which is our preference and the prices were good. Approx $17 per bottle. On the way out we noticed a beautiful back patio area with welcoming chairs and wished we'd seen it prior to the tasting. We would've probably just bought a bottle and sat outside so mama could tend to the little ones without being disturbed by customers. (Sorry if you're the daughter in law reading this, you were super sweet! But please tell your in-laws/bosses to hire someone, do it themselves or find a way not to make people feel like they are drinking wine at a day care). Your wines are lovely! I wish the ambience was as lovely as the grapes. If the baby/toddler thing isn't something that would get under your skin or distract you, the please go! It would've been great otherwise and I don't want to stop people from going if it wouldn't bug them. But if you're looking for something quieter, more-adult centered as most tasting rooms are, this may not be for you. Sorry I couldn't give more stars, the kiddos were really distracting and was a turn off.

    Great little winery! Spent about an hour and had a great time. Definitely a family vineyard but…read morewould rather go here than a place that charges $5 for a tasting of 5 wines.

    We are so grateful for Sarah, who made our wine tasting tour such a success! She was instantly warm…read moreand friendly when she greeted us and incredibly knowledgeable about the area as we made our way to the wineries. Every part of the tour was perfectly coordinated--she handled all the details so we could just sit back, sip wine, and soak in the views. We felt completely taken care of. She made sure we had water at every stop (without being asked) and even carried umbrellas for us just in case the weather turned. Sarah is a kind soul, and the kind of person you can't wait to hire again. Already looking forward to our next tour! Thank you, Sarah!

    We were looking for a way to enjoy the Grand Valley wineries without needing to drive.  Our group…read moreof six booked the Magnum tour.  Even the day before our tour, we heard great things about Sarah from one of the wineries we stopped at.  She is well-loved by her partners. She picked three places.  The first stop was so full of fun and the winemaker, Justin, took the time to explain about the Grand Valley and the winemaking process.  He was informative and kind and we had a great time.  I've done wine tours before, but no one spent time with us and hosted us as well as this.  Well worth the price.  Our second and third stops were nice as well, with options to choose between iced cocktails on a hot day or the selected wine flights.   Sarah herself was a delight and handled our brand of humor in stride.  At the end of the tour we were sad to say goodbye and were so glad that she was our host.

    it was a nice stop into Hermosa Vineyards the other day. We…read morewere in town for a few days, working remote, and our goal was to try a few wines in the area. 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.

    One of my wine loving friends recommended this place upon telling her about my upcoming Palisade…read morewine getaway trip several weeks ago. 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.
