Their charcuterie/tasing plate is the best I've ever had; it's thoughtful, smart, unique and curated to compliment every glass of wine they have. Their wine itself is unbelievable, I sometimes can't believe it's coming out of Colorado! The service is absolutely top notch, kind, considerate, and efficient. I love the decor, the outdoor seating, and the way they present their food and wine pairings. I've been here twice and will 100% stay with them next time we are in town. My husband LOVED the house-made biltong, olives, and I was blown away by the truffle! We are just so enamored by this place. Highly recommend!!

We had already strung together a nice wine tour on the Friday and then we we did parks on Saturday. When we were back in town Sunday I suggested we swing back through Palisade(our Airbnb was in Grand Junction) and see if there was another bottle of wine we might like. After 1 other spot we swung by Hermosa Vineyards. It was a humbler operation than some we noted, as we pulled in. I sorta like that over a grandiose entrance. The tasting room was even more humble in size and layout. As we walked in a larger group was just leaving and bought a few wines, so I figured it must be pretty good. It was good overall. The vintner was also our bartender he said. He told us alot about the history of him and the place. We learned alot about the produce he had growing as well. We were the only customers at that moment so he was especially chatty with us. It was a nice stop, we didn't get a bottle here, but we did appreciate the vibe.

One of my wine loving friends recommended this place upon telling her about my upcoming Palisade…read morewine getaway trip several weeks ago. As my expectation for this small but reputable winery grew as the day of the trip was near, today, I have the pleasure of writing this 5-star review to add to others' raves after I had a wonderful time spending 30 minutes at this one of a kind winery a few days ago. Kenneth was the most experienced/knowledgeable wine makers out of all 11 places I got to visit in Palisade mid this week. He certainly knows what wine making is all about and I could taste the precision he puts into each varietal. No wonder his place is ranked one of the top Colorado wineries. Hermosa is small and quaint but big doesn't always describe the success of a/any business. I certainly see that his pride as a wine maker is reflected in the kind of winery he runs: no extravagance, no big/expensive sign. Some great business is not always on the main/busy street; hence the expression, "hidden gem". Ken's winery is a hidden gem of Colorado's wine country is an understatement. His wines are not cheap like other wineries' wines so expect pay $5 to $10 more. But once you have tasted the qualities of his wines after a flight, you WILL be convinced to buy a bottle or two.

I believe it was Gunner who joined us at our table. On this occasion my husband and I were on a wine tour with his brother and our sister-in-law. This was stop two. Both couples got flights of five to share. We chose Dry Rosé of Blaufränkisch, Exodus, Tyrannosaurus Red, Calico and Peach Moscato. We enjoyed our tastes on a beautiful day while sitting outside enjoying their space.

We stopped into Carlson Vineyards on a quiet Sunday while in Palisade. Carlson is set off the…read morebeaten path but worth the 15 or so minute drive from the next closest winery. It has an industrial feel and is inside a warehouse, but right outside the tasting room is their winery and lots of amazing options for seating. The tasting room itself is cozy and you may also see their two resident cats roaming around! We were one of only two parties and soon, were solo in the tasting room which offered a great opportunity to ask questions and hear more about the winery's personal history. We even spoke to one of the vintners about the blends that make up one of their newer wines. Super cool! Many of their wines are VERY easy drinking. Head's up here, this winery can be very dangerous, lol, if you are not staying in town. We took advantage of their wine flight and choose 5 wines each. Sharing a few sips here and there gave us an opportunity to try even more. I loved so many of the whites, it was hard to choose which ones we'd take with us. What I maybe appreciated most was their handy "catalog" of each wine, the notes, dryness or maybe fruitiness and what to expect when choosing it. The staff were incredible - everything you'd want when trying new thing: friendly, educational, funny and not at all in a hurry. Carlson FTW! We took 5 bottles home! Go, maybe have lunch before and plan to take in the vineyards from their outdoor space. Gorgeous experience.

You can also get full glasses and bottles. The 2023 Chenin Blanc was springtime in a bottle. The barrel aged Chenin Blanc was aged in older French Oak barrels that provide an interesting accent. The Malbec rose tasted like strawberries. Then I got the 2022 Malbec. A great wine. The Cabernet Sauvignon was also good. My last pour was the 2022 Cabernet Franc. Another great wine. Then I got a bonus pour of a Raspberry dessert wine with locally grown raspberries. Not a true port, with only 17.5 ABV. I will be back Sunday to pickup 2 maybe 3 bottles for return to Denver. Pleasant cool space with a view of Mt Garfield and the bookcliffs. The Mt Garfield trailhead is nearby.
