Tour de Vineyards - Sept. 20
Celebrate the beginnings of fall with a scenic tour of Colorado Wine Country on September 21. Choose between a leisurely 23-mile route along the Palisade Fruit & Wine Byway or the more challenging 58-mile course that adds on a loop up and over Reeder Mesa.
Both routes showcase the splendor of the Grand Valley and the beauty of the Western Slope. Chock-full of wineries, vineyards, orchards and mesas, our 31st annual tour has a little something for everyone. After a good ride, enjoy a hearty meal right at the finish line in downtown Palisade and then head over to the Colorado Mountain Winefest (you will need a separate ticket), held just a few blocks away at Riverbend Park.
