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.

The winery is pet-friendly both indoors and outdoors, and they even provide water bowls for your dog, which we always appreciate. The outdoor seating is comfortable, with plenty of tables and umbrellas for shade. You also get a nice view of the vineyards. I think the views could be even more spectacular if a few of the trees were trimmed or removed and replaced with some landscaping. The mountains in the background are beautiful, and opening up that view would really make the patio stand out. The bartender was very friendly, took the time to explain the different wines, and helped us choose our tasting. They don't serve food, so be sure to plan accordingly. Overall, Carlson Vineyards offers a relaxing atmosphere, friendly service, and a great pet-friendly experience. We'd definitely stop by again.

Both couples got flights of five to share. We chose Dry Rosé of Blaufränkisch, Exodus, Tyrannosaurus Red, Calico and Peach Moscato.

I will have to say that my star rating has a big portion to do with the experience we had which could have been determined by the time we might have gone. When we had arrived there and not a soul beside us was there for tasting (all the other wineries that day had lots of people). So it was a bit odd to walk into an empty facility with a very quiet bar tender / taster lady. She wasn't much for any conversation. We had been told it was fun, the atmosphere was friendly and the owner did the tastings and made the experience fun. But we didn't experience that at all. Now the facility was beautiful and being high on the hill, it made a nice overview of the mountains and the water creaks and ponds below. Very nice outside area. The inside is also beautiful and great since it's a house I commend them for making this so homey yet professional. Unfortunately we didn't have the experience we were hoping to, and the wine wasn't one we thought that was outstanding. I don't know I would come back, but if we do we want to experience it the way were told so we might look into their busy times and see what it was like. We were just bummed for our first taste of the day.

Colorado's Oldest Winery. And they have their tasting room game down…read more 5 complimentary tastings, with additional tasters for $1 each. You can taste everything they make, save one, their sparking wine. Which makes sense when you think about it. They have a large number of traditional grape varietals, along with half a dozen fruit wines, and two wine-style meads. Everything I tasted, I liked a great deal. Most bottles sell for $15 each, although they had a couple on sale for $10 each. As others have noted, they are a little off the beaten path, but they are not difficult to find. Paved roads until last 1/8 mile. Dog friendly, but not RV friendly (lot is too small). We were in the same weekend as the Palisade Peach Festival, so it was a little busy and cramped, but the counter staff kept things moving very smoothly. A must stop on your Grand Valley AVA tour.

So much lost potential!…read more This place used to be amazing... but now it seems to be as forgotten as the fossils it holds. The fun little attractions for the kids are broken or barely running. The sandbox barely had sand to do anything with, the shaky earthquake barely moves, the spray Dino was dead, the lights were kept on during the informational video. As well as the bathrooms being halfway closed down with stalls, sinks, and hand dryers out of order. And of course, who enjoys working in an environment like that? Not this staff. Amazing fossils of plants, animals, and insects still keep this place going. How unfortunate the beautiful history this place holds is hidden by rundown attractions as well as people.
