We were able to check in early for a wedding party and the staff were all very nice. When we come back to palisade we know where to stay.

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.

We ordered a hamburger with a side of sweet potato fries (note I'm not a big fries eater, but the burger and fries were truly delicious). The burger was cooked to perfection, the slices of tomato were juicy and ripe and the fries were crispy with a creamy interior. We ordered a slice of the peach pie for dessert. The huge slice was topped with a crumble, side of whipped cream, along with small balls (molecular process?) of juicy peach balls. We came on the early side for happy hour (2 specialty drinks for the price of one- 9.00) two sangria flavors (green apple or peach)...whilst a tad sweet, we're good. The peach is less sweet than the green apple. If there are two of you ordering, order one per person and you can return for your second one even after happy hour ends.

We opted for the more informal setting of the Tapestry experience over Caroline's. We're staying at the Wine Country Inn in Palisade this week and thoroughly enjoying our stay! The breakfasts each morning offer a variety of delicious breakfast options. The wine tasting at 5pm offers up two delicious choices from a local winery. And tonight's dinner was exceptional. I ordered from the Tapestry menu. My burger on a gluten free bun was phenomenal!!! My husband ordered the New York Strip off Caroline's menu, and he thought it was quite good. The ambience of this room is very warm and welcoming. I highly recommend dining here! Our server, Juan, was also really attentive and helpful. Tonight was a 5 star experience!

I planned a surprise 7th wedding anniversary for my wife by going to Palisade/Grand Junction…read more Really didn't have a lot planned for the weekend, but my wife had been wanted to got back here since here bachelorette celebration 7 years earlier, so I thought it would be fun. We knew there were plenty of wineries, but since my wife like trying new things and I didn't know where she had gone in the past, I had her pick the place to go when we got in and she 'randomly' selected this one. We couldn't have been happier. They have plenty of places to sit outside, but we went to the upstairs patio that overlooks the vineyard. It was a great choice. It's very pleasant, the view is beautiful, it's covered (so you're not baking in the sun), and when the breeze rolls through, it's perfect. We were a little taken aback that we had to go "all the way" downstairs when we wanted more wine, but then realized that it's the 'winery atmosphere' (remember - first day in to Palisade). We absolutely loved sitting on the patio and having a couple glasses of wine. We spent the next day visiting a few other wineries, but after two others, we decided to go back to Carboy. Sat on the upstairs patio again and listened to the live music (with a couple glasses of wine). It was amazing. Carboy has an assorted selection of food that can be ordered. We didn't order any, but it looked amazing and the people around us that did order things seemed happy with it. The only thing that we commented on was that when there's live music, we would have loved to have had the option of a food truck. If that had been the case, we both agreed that we probably would have stayed and had dinner there (as it was, we decided to leave and get dinner from a restaurant). If you're in Palisade (and are visiting wineries), I highly recommend Carboy. Personally, I'd skip the tasting 'flight' and go straight for a glass of wine, but that's mostly because the tasting varies from white to red (and I'm not a big fan of whites).

Late afternoon, the temperature was in the 90s and a slushie sounded good. My sis-in-law and I got the slushies. The boys both got tastings.

The staff is really welcoming and it is a great space. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating, being on the east side of the building, and covered has nice shade from afternoon heat. The parking lot is good sized.

Perfect temperature - some places turn the thermostat to brain freeze temp when it's hot outside and to me, that makes it miserable. We each had a red flight with four tastes. I really liked the Merlot and it had just a little spice at the finish. The Cab Franc smelled awesome and was very berry. The Cab Sauvignon had a beautiful color and bouquet but was little tannin heavy for my taste. I finished with the Cab Franc Reserve - intense dark fruit - and was in heaven. They have a little store so we picked up a bottle as well as a bottle of jalapeño peach vinaigrette. We were offered a glass of champagne on our way out and that was wonderful too! A great enjoyment for us was the presence of two large toads in the fountain at the entrance who were hanging out eating the insects. Super cute!

Of course I had to add salsa, because... obviously Patti went with the Huevos Rancheros and really liked it Tyler tried the Chile Relleno and said it was the best one he's had in forever -- bold statement, but he's sticking to it. I've had the Chile Relleno too, and I get it. Fresh poblano, Oaxacan cheese, refried black beans, sour cream, pickled onion, cilantro, cotija... just yummy. I also tried the Oaxacan taco and carne asada taco, and both were absolutely on point -- juicy, flavor-packed, and straight-up And yes, Dad's jalapeño sauces are a must. The green and red both add that perfect little kick And a big win--they've got a great selection of gluten-free options (clearly marked), so it's easy to navigate if that matters to you And since it's a Mexican restaurant, I had to partake in a margarita I went with the Pinky -- Dulce Vida Grapefruit Tequila, Naranja, fresh lime juice, and fresh grapefruit juice. Very tasty. Big shoutout to Sasha at the bar super knowledgeable, great vibes, and clearly a fellow GJ foodie with great recommendations. Service has been great all around both times. Solid food, great date night spot, and worth the drive. Just my opinion... don't come at me
