Introduction
Welcome to Palisade, CO

The wine country of Palisade, Colorado is a paradise for those who love to enjoy the beauty of vineyards or a nice glass of wine overlooking the mountains and sunset of the beautiful city. Hosting over 75 percent of the state’s wine vineyards, Palisade has acres of Chardonnay, Merlot and Riesling grapes flourishing throughout the area.

 

The mild climate of Palisade is what makes it possible to raise the finest wines and fruits that the country has to offer. Peaches, apples, pears and apricots are all abundant in Palisade. A hot and dry summer and a moderate winter leave room for agriculture to flourish year round. Bicycle and walking tours are available through almost every vineyard and orchard in the area. Palisade hosts numerous festivals throughout the year, making the city a family friendly environment with lots of room for getting to know the community.

 

Palisade real estate is developing much like most of the greater area of Grand Junction. Most residential dwellings are single-family, with real-estate trends and population on the rise. The community of Palisade is small with an understanding of what true Colorado beauty is. The people and sense of community that Palisade has to offer make it a charming and relaxing place to enjoy life with family and friends.
