    This vineyard was great! Stopped by on our winery tour last weekend and loved it. There was live music going on outdoors and some food trucks and booths outside to check out. Inside the staff were super nice and helped us out right away. I ordered the peach sangria outside at the tent and so glad I did. It was amazing and so refreshing. It was a group of 7 of us for a bachelorette weekend and they were so kind and let us sit upstairs In a private area for a while to get out of the heat and enjoy some wine. Everyone loved their wine choices N the sangrias.

    If you only.have time to visit one winery in Palisade, visit this one! The outdoors area has a great view.of the Grand Mesa and Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Garfield. The red and white tastings had some great selections. They also had a seafood food truck...who knew you could order a hot lobster roll with real lobster meat on the Western Slope? Finally, the owner, Gary, did an amazing job serving and explaining our samples. Awesome place!

    Wines were great, location has views for days and the service was amazing! They were doing one of their "Music in The Barrel" events when we were there and although we'd planned to leave earlier, we decided to stay and enjoy the fun! We were not disappointed! Definitely will be back next time I'm in that area!

    The service here is SO kind. I loved their wines but they have an incredible staff here. Talking about wines, I'd say I loved their whites. Their reds were ok but the real stars are their whites!

    Visiting vineyards in Grand Junction? Don't dare skip out on this one. The tasting, like most places, will be what you want it to be. Put more into it and ask appropriate questions, expect a better experience. The stand out with this Vineyard when compared to others is the beautiful outdoor seating area that is encompassed by Vineyard. Enjoy your crafted vino with a view of the mesa. Amazing. A Ma Zing.

    Excellent! We found Restoration Vineyards on Yelp. It was a 5 star location based on the beautiful setting, atmosphere, friendliness, and wine. They are dog friendly too. The inside bar and serving area is small but there is plenty of room for sitting outside. We look forward to returning!

    Such a great space, great wine & welcoming staff!! We rode our bikes to several wineries/vineyards in the area but this was our favorite. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the wines were great. They have a beautiful outdoor space & even had a fire going. The cherry on top was the complimentary s'mores station!!! Because it is the slower seasons they did not have the food trucks on a Sunday when we went.

    Stopped by intending to do a tasting, but learned that Restoration Vineyards doesn't do tastings during Band in the Barrel events (and we didn't know what that was!). We were initially disappointed and going to leave to move on to the next winery, but so glad we didn't! We ended up enjoying the Barbera wine on the lawn until closing and had the best time listening to live music, sipping on some delicious wine, and soaking up the awesome and relaxing vibes!

    We had a GREAT time here on Saturday, even though the weather was hot. Live music, food truck and a very lively atmosphere. Because of the event, they we're only serving bottles and glasses, which was fine with us since was our second stop of the day and we tasted at our first stop. We had the Albariño and it was delicious. Josephine our "wine angel" was so friendly and attentive, she definitely added to the experience. The whole staff was very welcoming. If you only have time to go to one winery, I would definitely suggest Restoration Vineyards!

    This is probably my favorite winery in Palisade. Everything is absolutely perfect about this location: beautiful grounds with lots of outdoor seating space (perfect grass lawn vs gravel that most of the places have), breathtaking views, amazing wine, outstanding customer service. They can accommodate huge groups of people, and have quite a bit of different wines (specializing in dry wine) to choose from. On certain dates they also have live music. Wine tasting is $15 and if you purchase a bottle of wine, they take it down to $5 and apply $10 to your wine. I definitely recommend checking out this place!

    A must-stop if you are visiting the Palisade area. We decided to opt for a wine tasting as we heard amazing things about this place and wanted the whole experience. The wine tasting comes with 6 pours (3 white, 3 red). All of the wines were delicious, but their white wines are amazing!! After the tasting- we lounged on the chairs under the nice shaded area and listened to a talented musician as we sipped on our peach Sangria. The ambiance was everything I could have hoped for - beautiful scenery, delicious wines, and staff that was as cordial as they can come. We didn't eat here, but there were two food trucks parked directly on their grounds. I more than once looked around at everyone's smiling faces thinking "This place really knows how to make people happy." I can't wait to come back to Palisade to do it all over again and try some more of their delicious wines. Put Restoration Vineyards on your list of wineries to try, you will not regret it.

    Best winery I've tried in the valley this year! The atmosphere is lovely and so peaceful being that it is a little off the beaten path. The service was warm and attentive as well. I wish I had tried the red wines but, I am a California full-bodied red lover lol, so I tend to enjoy the whites on the Western slope more. And Restoration's whites did not disappoint! The albariño was crisp and had a nice minerality. The vermentino was reminiscent of a chardonnay. The partially shaded patio was the perfect place to relax on a sunny spring day. The views of the vineyard/orchard and Mt Garfield in the distance were the icing on the cake!

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.

It has an industrial feel and is inside a warehouse, but right outside the tasting room is their winery and lots of amazing options for seating. The tasting room itself is cozy and you may also see their two resident cats roaming around! We were one of only two parties and soon, were solo in the tasting room which offered a great opportunity to ask questions and hear more about the winery's personal history. We even spoke to one of the vintners about the blends that make up one of their newer wines. Super cool! Many of their wines are VERY easy drinking. Head's up here, this winery can be very dangerous, lol, if you are not staying in town. We took advantage of their wine flight and choose 5 wines each. Sharing a few sips here and there gave us an opportunity to try even more. I loved so many of the whites, it was hard to choose which ones we'd take with us. What I maybe appreciated most was their handy "catalog" of each wine, the notes, dryness or maybe fruitiness and what to expect when choosing it. The staff were incredible - everything you'd want when trying new thing: friendly, educational, funny and not at all in a hurry. Carlson FTW! We took 5 bottles home! Go, maybe have lunch before and plan to take in the vineyards from their outdoor space. Gorgeous experience.

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.
