Just attended the July 2014 Lavender Festival in Palisades, CO. Garden landscaper, Kathy Kimbrough,…read moreput together a nice half day tour of 4 gardens of the region. We stopped by motorbus and were able to walk at our own pace, ask questions of Kathy, the home owners and the other attendees. From xeric landscaping to a shady garden, we were able to learn and understand more about the diversity of plants that can thrive n the valley. Special lavender laced desserts were offered at more than one stop as well as refreshing lemonades. The tour ended at the Wine Country Inn where a luncheon was served with accompanying lavender wine. The festival also had a day trip to multiple lavender farms with hands on activities at each stop. A pleasant way to spend a summer day.

There's a nice selection of giftable items, including jams, soaps, and Christian-themed items. The bakery/coffee counter is a MUST. There's a sampling table (yum). Their hand pies ($7.99) are hefty, so plan to share. (I believe those recently received a Best Dessert award.) We had a fresh peach with cream cheese hand pie that was divine. Employees were very personable. The restroom has cute peachy decor.

Love this place when we come to Palisade and the farm is so serene and beautiful! Brings calmness within me when I visit. That's what you want on vacation right?

A year ago, while attending the Palisade Lavender Festival, my husband and I visited Sprigs and…read moreSprouts. This lovely shop carries a variety of items - we bought lavender plants and some flavored balsamic vinegars and oils but they have many more items. The plants are thriving and we've been enjoying the vinegars and oil. Recently, I tried drizzling strawberry basil vinegar over half my mozzarella Caprese salad and tangerine over the other half. My guests loved the flavors. Today we decided to add more flavors to our pantry. The proprietresses were extremely helpful. We tried many flavors and flavor combinations and were given great ideas on which foods went best with them. We also found a spice blend that is flavorful and versatile. We more than doubled our existing vinegars and oils. Some will be gifts but the rest will enhance dishes from salads to desserts. If you find yourself near Palisade, Colorado, we recommend visiting this business. It has wide range of products in an attractive setting and knowledgeable staff.

This was our first experience at this property…read more There was plenty of parking and we were welcomed in by the desk staff. Check-in was smooth. I had booked two rooms as we were traveling with another couple. They let us each pay for our own rooms separately at check-in. The rooms are very nice. The bed was comfortable as were the pillows. Our rooms both had mini fridge and microwave which was a nice touch. The views were beautiful. There was an evening reception where we were offered a glass of the wine from the property vineyard. We sat out on the porch to enjoy the wine and the evening. The pool and hot tub are well maintained and were quite enjoyable. This was a great location for our stay. I would come back.

Wine Country Inn is further away from the city center, so if you plan to be downtown in Grand…read moreJunction, it is going to take you at least 30 minutes to get where you are going. But if you are intentionally hoping for something more remote and quiet with home grown hospitality, you will likely love this place. Know before you go (as of spring/summer 2024): The hotel has an arrangement with professionals who offer massages and facials. Ask them about it before you check in, because it may be difficult to get appointment if you are interested during your stay. Costs range between $85 and $140 depending on the amount of time and type of service. Couples massages are available. And the professionals come to you! One of the wonderful things is the vineyard. You drive past the grapes to reach the hotel and get excellent views of Mt. Garfield, as the hotel is right near the base. The freeway is the only separation, but you cannot hear the freeway traffic once inside (at least not on the far end of the hotel, which is where we stayed). The hotel certainly has more of a dated feel, but it is lovely and has been treated with apparent care -- and it has most everything you need. There is a small fitness center, guest laundry (cost is $1.75 per wash and $1.50 per dry), a tiny business center opened 24/7, reliable WIFI, and a pool with a hot tub on site. The pool and hot tub were closed during the late spring/early summer 2024 for renovations and have since reopened. I didn't have a chance to enjoy either during the stay as both were closed. Apparently, poolside lunch is also open when the pool is open. Caroline's Restaurant is on site, and a hot breakfast is included in your stay at what is called the Tapestry Lounge (a section of the restaurant). It is a fine breakfast with eggs, meats, fruits and juice. Ample offerings. There is also a wine reception held daily in the evening -- this is a vineyard after all. And there is also complementary coffee and tea 24/7. Don't miss the gift shop. In addition to having all the essentials (like snacks, pills and detergent), there is local dessert and some specialty items that would make for decent gifts for older adults. The team is extremely cordial and helpful, also resourceful, especially if you are not familiar with the region. And just up the road is a peach shack that sells excellent peach ice cream and other tasty treats. I highly recommend visiting.
