During both years, we stayed at the Wine Country Inn, the best of the best in Palisade. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel. First of all, it is located in the most gorgeous setting, with a vineyard and a mountainous region as it's backdrop. It also has the best customer service around and includes an outdoor heated pool, hot tub and superb continental breakfast. There is also a restaurant located inside the hotel. Talk about convenience with an almost one year old! Many people have weddings there in the fall, but it was still quiet and peaceful during our stay, even though there were several weddings occurring.
As far as the wineries, go, they are all amazing. Really, you cannot go wrong. I am not sure on the exact number, but I would say there are close to 15 located in Palisade alone. We probably went to 7-8 of them. We stayed Friday night in Rifle, Colorado (about 45 minutes from Palisade) and then stayed Saturday night in Palisade. We came back early Sunday to avoid the traffic and we did :)
Our first stop, Canyon Wind Cellars- where we had a tour of where they make the wine.
A dolly at a winery, always a good idea.

A personal Fast family favorite, is Carlson Vineyards. We were able to do a tasting with the owner this year. We ended up with about 10 bottles of wine at the end of this trip, but about half were from Carlson vineyard. I would highly, highly recommend the Peach Wine, it literally might be my favorite wine of all time. It tastes just like a fresh Palisade peach and it is not too sweet, like some fruit wines tend to be. Other favorites from this winery include the Calico and Sweet Baby Red. We be back again soon, Palisade!
In other news, my 11 month old is walking! Yay!
