We booked a 2 person wine tour with Dave today, from 10 to 2. He did a great job pairing what our tastes to the vineyards we visited. He was on time, knew when to be engaged and when to leave us alone, and is also well networked - even managed to score us a few 'off the menu' tastings. When you come to Palisade, be sure to book a tour with Pali-Tours. He is reasonably priced and will give you a memorable tour. read more

What a blast of a wine tour!! Dave Smith with Pali Tours made my daughter's Bachelorette weekend incredibly memorable. The communication was superb. His knowledge of the Valley was excellent. He was flexible and suggested some amazing wineries based on questions he asked us. He was funny, and very personable. He also took lots of pictures of our group at our request. Would absolutely recommend Dave. We have a Wedding coming up in August and we will be giving out his info to family coming in to town. read more

Thanks to Dave for a great wine trip. He really helped us out when we were ditched by another service. I won't even hold it against him for being a Phili fan. read more

Pali-Tours is the absolute best! Dave was an excellent driver and guide. We told him what kind of wines we liked and he chose the wineries for us. He knocked it out of the park!!! We did not taste a bad wine that day. I am a little ticked at him cause we ended up spending so much buying bottles of wine. Dude could have picked at least one bad winery and saved me a little - LOL. He knows a lot about the history of the area as well and was very engaging while at the same time giving us our space to enjoy our day -He reads his customers well. If you decide to ride with someone else, it's your loss. read more

My wife and I were staying in Palisade for a few days when our car had mechanical problems and needed to be taken to the shop. The next day, we didn't have a car or any mode of transportation to do any wine tasting. I contacted one tour company and they were unable to hook us up with a tour. I sent a text msg to Dave asking if we could set up a tour, explaining we were stranded with no car. Dave got back to me and set up a tour for the 2 of us. Dave saved us from just hanging out at our hotel. Dave went above and beyond for us. I will definitely use Pali-Tours again! read more

Above and beyond does not even start to describe Dave. We called for a kayak/ wine tour and the winery's were closed cuz #covid. Leave it up to the man to offer to grab the kayaks for us, meet us at spoke and vine and drop us off. We were able to enjoy some adult beverages and enjoy the beautiful Colorado River. We might have missed our exit ( that's another story) but there Dave was to save the day!! He picked us up and Dropped us off at the hotel. later that night while we were enjoying our wine at our table outside at spoke and vine, he gave us roses. He literally is the spirit of hospitality. Thank you Dave!!! read more

A group of 11 of us just returned from a FABULOUS wine tasting tour in Palisade Colorado. Dave Smith with Pali Tours made it absolutely AMAZING!! He set everything up and made it totally stress free for us. We went on a float trip on the Colorado River, a bus tour of The Colorado National Monument, two days of wine tasting and took us to Grand Junction for dinner both nights. We all had a wonderful trip we will be talking about for years and plan to make it an annual event with Dave being our leader. I highly recommend Pali Tours!!!! read more

Family fun! Dave was amazing! Took us and all our kids to the Alpaca Farm where we learned about these friendly alpacas and took them for a walk! Then we headed off to an apricot orchard where we each picked a bag of fresh apricots and then finished off the day with an ice cream and pie stop before calling it an afternoon. Kids loved it! Adults loved it! We saw so many unique places in Palisade Colorado that we would have never found ourselves. Best. Day. Ever! read more

We went on this rafting/wine tour today. The morning was spent rafting on the Colorado river. Afternoon was a winery tour. It was a great day. Dave our tour guide was fantastic. He customized our tour on the fly. After visiting several wineries we asked if there was anyplace that had hard cider. Dave knew were to go and took us there. He provided great insight into the town As for Janet A's review below, I was in the vehicle. I did not see your vehicle. I was a disintrested party. You behavior was witnessed by many other people. But no matter what happened, you came up on the driver and started cussing him out. You are a vile woman that needs to get a life. You will end up with a heat attack if you keep getting so upset about minor issues in life. I will pray for you. read more

Do not, I repeat, do not take this tour. The speed limit in the area in which Ii was driving is 35 mph. I was traveling east, the tour bus was traveling west and turned in front of me and was so close that I had to hit the brakes. When I finished feeding my horses I was traveling west and the tour bus was still parked at Palisade Pies so I stopped and asked the driver if he could not see the white pickup that almost hit him. He said we were traveling 60 mph. We travel this road twice a day and top speed limit is 40. Do not go with him, you are traveling with a blind man. read more

Perfect day in Palisade. Dave took us on a tour of 3 vineyards and a peach farm. The views were stunning. We couldn't have asked for a better day, and Dave was the perfect guide. Highly recommend. read more

We did a winery tour and a rafting trip with Dave and we couldn't have had a better time. He's an amazing tour guide for the Palisade area. At one point we said we wanted a winery with snacks and he literally called a reservation-only winery to get us in for a fantastic wine and charcuterie pairing. If you want to experience Palisade like a local, you must book with Dave. read more

The best way to see some of the wineries and other sites in Palisade! Dave knew all the great spots in town! He asked us about what we wanted to see and do and catered to our interests. I'd definitely recommend booking a tour with Dave if you want to know the heart of Palisade! read more

I've tried contacting this company multiple times over the last few months regarding their winery and water package for my birthday. I've emailed to get a response. No luck. I've called and left voicemails. There were even times their voicemail was full so I couldn't. They only called me back once but I was working and couldn't answer. How can you run a company that never answers the phone and does not respond to a potential customers inquiry as well as have a full voicemail?? read more

Dave is one of a kind! Great service, on time. Personable with a great sense of timing. Recommend recommend, recommend

Dave was amazing! We received his name as a referral from Wine Country Inn. He set up a wonderful wine tour for an 18 girl bachelorette, helped us plan a great itinerary, and was so accommodating and knowledgeable about Palisade and its wineries. I highly recommend him for your tour!! read more
