“Sip into Spring: A Celebration of Colorado Wine" is generously presented by Grand Valley Bank.
This curated festival of 12 premier Colorado wineries is hosted at the scenic Orchard River View outdoor event center, in Palisade, Colorado. Nestled in the heart of the Grand Valley, surrounded by beautiful orchards and vineyards, this event showcases the best of Colorado wine. The grounds boast a breathtaking view of the Book Cliffs from a gorgeous outdoor venue on a lush grassy expanse that sits beside the Colorado River at the mouth of the De Beque Canyon.
Each of the 12 wineries offers complimentary tastes of their wines, so you can find your favorites and stock your cellar. Get to know these award-winning winemakers and learn firsthand from them about our high-elevation terroir and what makes Colorado wines so special.
Enjoy the sounds of local musical artists, while sitting under the shade of the native trees and sipping on some Colorado wine by the river. This year, Katie and the Players are headlining the festival, alongside local favorite 80s AM.
Enhance your wine-tasting experience with culinary delights from five of the Western Slope's top food trucks and browse the wares from some of our favorite local artisans, crafters, and producers. While no outside food or drink is permitted, we've got you deliciously covered.
In order to provide you with an intimate, uncrowded experience, we split the festival into two separate sessions. You have the option of attending either an afternoon session, from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., or an evening session, from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Both sessions are identical in format and price.
