Known as the Peach and Wine capital of Colorado, Palisade is perfectly nestled along the Colorado River as it emerges from DeBeque Canyon and wedged between magnificent mountains and vistas offering breathtaking views every direction you turn. Here, high country breezes funnel through the canyon, creating a temperate climate and ideal growing conditions.
But while award winning fruit and wine are at the heart of Palisade, its soul is in its people, its energy, and the experiences it offers to residents and visitors alike. A stroll down Main Street and around will delight your senses. Friendly “hellos” from locals, mouth-watering aromas from the quaint little restaurants and coffee shops with welcoming wine barrels and containers full of seasonal flowers, antique and artisan shops, music on the plaza and so much more.
From its rich small-town friendliness to unique cultural events including the Annual Palisade Peach Festival and the Colorado Mountain Winefest, and year-round outdoor adventures with Colorado River floats and mountain biking events, Palisade is a singular destination for those who want to experience more.
