We have visited the wineries in the Palisade, Colorado area a couple of times. During one of our stays we had the privilege of staying at the Wine Country Inn located within a stone’s throw of Interstate 70, which extends almost from the east coast to the west coast. We had a delightful time while at the Wine Country Inn.

Recently Jean Tally, owner, wrote that Wine Country Inn had received a special honor. In a Wine Enthusiast Magazine, June 2010 article, Sleeping with the Grapes the inn was selected as “of the best places to dine well, relax in comfort and contemplate the vines.” The article is available online at http://www.winemag.com/Wine-Enthusiast-Magazine/June-2010/Sleeping-with-the-Grapes/.

This summer the Wine Country Inn has a series of summer events, “Hot Summer Notes.” These events will feature live music by Project Groove. Visitors will discover tapas, informal courtyard dining, cool cocktails, wine, beer, great funk, blues and rock. If you have an opportunity check it out.

Anyone who is contemplating a visit to this delightful region of Colorado with photo opportunities of the Colorado River and Bookcliffs should look into staying at the Wine Country Inn, which has many amenities and seems to be reasonably priced.
