Tour de Vineyards

September 21, 2024

Tour de Vineyards showcases the splendor of the Grand Valley and the beauty of the Western Slope! Chock-full of wineries, vineyards, orchards and mesas, the 30th annual tour has a little something for everyone. 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. After a good ride, enjoy a hearty meal at the finish-line in downtown Palisade and then head over to the Colorado Mountain Winefest at Riverbend Park. A portion of event proceeds go to support Colorado West Land Trust and Colorado Association of Viticulture & Enology. See the event schedule here.
