For Marilyn's extended birthday weekend, we took our RV trailer up to Grand Junction, CO and then on to Moab, Utah. In Grand Junction we drove a bit east to Palisade ~ called "Colorado's wine country". We rode our bicycles around, following the maps for wine country (we missed the similarly wonderful orchard tours which close up in early fall). Here is a demonstration vineyard at Grande River winery. In the background are the "palisades", called the Book Cliffs. Opposite them is the Colorado River. In between, the quaint little town of Palisade. Each winery has a tasting room, and we sampled many wonderful wines, both red and white. We also visited a meadery, where honey-based wine is made. These products are really GOOD! We bought some bottles along the way- the weather was perfect and we had a really, really good time.
