The restroom was clean. This place was recommended to us by local residents and I definitely know why.

We got the white wine flight and wanted the charcuterie board but was bummed when they said they were out. A little while later the server came to our table and mentioned they had got some delivered while we were there and offered us one which was really nice. The wine flight was reasonably priced with unique flavors. Our favorite was the chardonnay. The only thing i wish you could do is mix the red and white wines for a tasting. It was odd you could only do a flight of red or white wines. The charcuterie board had the perfect amount of meat, cheese, nuts and fruit for a small snack. Although there could have been more crackers with it. Overall this winery has the best views out of them all! Would highly recommend stopping here if you are in town.

The wines I picked were on cards which had descriptions of each one on the back. Each wine I tried was great - the gal in the smaller building out front and near the sitting area was very knowledgeable and friendly. There is ample seating and even reserved tables available if you're with a larger group. For a Saturday, it wasn't terribly busy and finding a spot to sit wasn't difficult. At the end, you tell the gal which wine was your favorite and they give you a wine glass charm that matches the one you picked, so cute and thoughtful! I also bought a bottle of my favorite and they offered to chill it before I left. Both the tasting and bottle were reasonably priced. There's also a trolley that stops by and takes people to different wineries - a perfect way to wine hop and not worry about transportation. Definitely recommend if you find yourself in Palisade.

We tried a number of different products. My favorite was probably the chocolate/strawberry mead - yum! However, as many know, the alcohol content of mead can get pretty high and I didn't want to be plastered for the entire day. Overall, I think we tried 11 different items (try their tasting flights), but in the end, I settled on a glass of the white merlot, closely beating out the red merlot that my wife ended up selecting. Given the great weather, we ended up sitting in the gazebo outside and had a lovely time. The staff is very personable and knowledgeable. As I said, the problem for me is that they have such a large selection. I would definitely have the chocolate strawberry mead again, but would probably decide to uber there so that I can have an entire bottle. I definitely recommend trying out this place.

Oh my goodness, what an amazing way to spend an afternoon in Palisades!…read more On a recent trip to CO from FL, my wife and I spent the day visiting several wineries but Blue Beryl was the highlight, for sure. The location was incredible, the views from the tasting room were breathtaking but the wines made the day - our tasting consisted of 8 recent releases, including a really great Chenin Blanc and their award-winning Reserve Malbec, among others. The ownership was on site, personable and working hard, alongside our incredible server / bartender Amy, who spent over an hour with us, sharing stories about each of the wines, their labels and Palisades history. We will DEFINITELY stop in again on our next trip and will ask for Amy by name.

For those of you unfamiliar with what a winery collective is all about, it's a "greatest hits" of vino, curated by the owners to give you a tasting experience from all over the region. Colorado Vintner's Collective is new(ish), but what they lack in tenure they make up for in quality wine. Two of the varietals on their tasting list are produced by their proprietors, while the other 3-4 are regional wineries. I did the full tasting and enjoyed a glass of their Animas Chardonnay. It's half oaked, half steel so you get some buttery notes but not a bucket of movie popcorn in your mouth. Compared to other, more crowded wineries in Palisade, this was a treat! There was plenty of seating, no wait time, and a very nice restroom available.
