The wines I picked were on cards which had descriptions of each one on the back. Each wine I tried was great - the gal in the smaller building out front and near the sitting area was very knowledgeable and friendly. There is ample seating and even reserved tables available if you're with a larger group. For a Saturday, it wasn't terribly busy and finding a spot to sit wasn't difficult. At the end, you tell the gal which wine was your favorite and they give you a wine glass charm that matches the one you picked, so cute and thoughtful! I also bought a bottle of my favorite and they offered to chill it before I left. Both the tasting and bottle were reasonably priced. There's also a trolley that stops by and takes people to different wineries - a perfect way to wine hop and not worry about transportation. Definitely recommend if you find yourself in Palisade.

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!

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.
