And it seems to enable them to move peaches from tree to market or shipping very quickly. (I went on a tour of their facility during Peach Fest). They also have a commercial kitchen where jams and preserves are made. There is a little farm store where you can buy peaches, (and sample peaches), preserves, peach-related souvenirs, some packaged cheeses, crackers, wine accoutrements, etc. And peach ice cream in the summer...in my case topped with some chopped fresh peach. Yum. It is hard to write about this without also mentioning that there is a very good winery on premises. Colteris Winery makes a very good pink wine (Coral) and some surprisingly good reds. The location has a beautiful lavender garden that you can walk through, outdoor sculptures, the peach orchards, the vineyards, a walk to a river overlook, covered seating and tasting room. A lovely place to picnic, drink in the peace and enjoy peaches and wine. Sounds like a perfect summer day to me.

What a special gem in an amazing part of our country! I used their location to propose to my…read moregirlfriend, and I know that I'm not the first or the last to use High Country Orchards as a destination to start my new life! My first amazing experience was with High Country Orchards' owner and staff. The staff is wonderful. They were so helpful with making special accommodations for me in very little notice. The staff was on the ball and knew how to play a background part in special moments. We had a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, and peaches all ready for my proposal. Now to the grub. I'm no wine expert in any shape or form. But I knew it tasted good. I usually don't like wine, but this was delicious. High Country keeps everything temperature-controlled up to pouring it in your glass. So, even though I'm not a connoisseur, I immediately trust that they know what they're doing. The peaches are delicious. Trust a slice of peach with a cracker and cheese. It's a tasty combination. Great people, great food, and a beautiful territory! There is an amazing look-out point that really captures the Grand Valley experience. There isn't anything like it. No picture can do it justice and certainly no words can paint the picture right. You just have to be there. I'm already excited to visit during different parts of the season to take in the view. As far as the price goes, I found it very reasonable. For a bottle of their wine, two keepsake glasses, cheese, crackers, peaches, and a couple of bottles of water it was in the $40 area. I've been to other places that can have very startling prices that can make you chuckle wondering what people think they're doing. But not this place. They know what's going on.

Ever since Alidas was bought out the quality has gone downhill. Last year I thought we received…read moresmaller peaches because of the damaged crop but according to my friends in the area there were plenty of large peaches. This year again we received tiny peaches in September. Alidas always had the biggest and best peaches that would arrive ready to eat. This year and last the peaches arrived past their prime with many so damaged (including mold) we couldn't salvage them. Shipping is so expensive and having to throw away 30% is not acceptable. Really disappointed.

I love the decor, the outdoor seating, and the way they present their food and wine pairings. I've been here twice and will 100% stay with them next time we are in town. My husband LOVED the house-made biltong, olives, and I was blown away by the truffle! We are just so enamored by this place. Highly recommend!!

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

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.
