    This is such a beautiful space. We were on a wine tour and our guide introduced us to Gary, the owner. Since our trip was a celebratory one, our anniversary, Gary brought out a bottle of the sparkling rosé. We ordered a tasting from Marissa, who was helpful giving us recommendations. There are shade sails outside and we were sitting under one, enjoying the snack we had brought along. My brother-in-law was asking questions about the restored cars and that was a fascinating conversation. The vineyard was not only restored to its current state but the owner also restores classic Mercedes cars. The views are spectacular and you can see a great distance. A short rain storm swooped in and sent us running for shelter, but it soon passed and the sun reappeared. Overall great visit. I would recommend going to this winery.

    This was the second winery we went to when visiting Palisade, CO. They had a nice outdoor area with views of the mesa while surrounded by the vineyards. We got a flight of the white wines - all of which were very unique. Our server was extremely attentive and friendly in explaining each of the wines to us. He was even giving us suggestions on things to do in the area. Our favorite was the resiling- we ended up getting a bottle it was so good. Overall this place had the best tasting wine out of all the wineries we went to! It was also dog friendly and had a food truck outside if you are hungry. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a chill outdoor wine day!

    This vineyard was great! Stopped by on our winery tour last weekend and loved it. There was live music going on outdoors and some food trucks and booths outside to check out. Inside the staff were super nice and helped us out right away. I ordered the peach sangria outside at the tent and so glad I did. It was amazing and so refreshing. It was a group of 7 of us for a bachelorette weekend and they were so kind and let us sit upstairs In a private area for a while to get out of the heat and enjoy some wine. Everyone loved their wine choices N the sangrias.

    If you only.have time to visit one winery in Palisade, visit this one! The outdoors area has a great view.of the Grand Mesa and Mt. Lincoln and Mt. Garfield. The red and white tastings had some great selections. They also had a seafood food truck...who knew you could order a hot lobster roll with real lobster meat on the Western Slope? Finally, the owner, Gary, did an amazing job serving and explaining our samples. Awesome place!

    Wines were great, location has views for days and the service was amazing! They were doing one of their "Music in The Barrel" events when we were there and although we'd planned to leave earlier, we decided to stay and enjoy the fun! We were not disappointed! Definitely will be back next time I'm in that area!

    The service here is SO kind. I loved their wines but they have an incredible staff here. Talking about wines, I'd say I loved their whites. Their reds were ok but the real stars are their whites!

    Visiting vineyards in Grand Junction? Don't dare skip out on this one. The tasting, like most places, will be what you want it to be. Put more into it and ask appropriate questions, expect a better experience. The stand out with this Vineyard when compared to others is the beautiful outdoor seating area that is encompassed by Vineyard. Enjoy your crafted vino with a view of the mesa. Amazing. A Ma Zing.

    Excellent! We found Restoration Vineyards on Yelp. It was a 5 star location based on the beautiful setting, atmosphere, friendliness, and wine. They are dog friendly too. The inside bar and serving area is small but there is plenty of room for sitting outside. We look forward to returning!

    Such a great space, great wine & welcoming staff!! We rode our bikes to several wineries/vineyards in the area but this was our favorite. The staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the wines were great. They have a beautiful outdoor space & even had a fire going. The cherry on top was the complimentary s'mores station!!! Because it is the slower seasons they did not have the food trucks on a Sunday when we went.

    Stopped by intending to do a tasting, but learned that Restoration Vineyards doesn't do tastings during Band in the Barrel events (and we didn't know what that was!). We were initially disappointed and going to leave to move on to the next winery, but so glad we didn't! We ended up enjoying the Barbera wine on the lawn until closing and had the best time listening to live music, sipping on some delicious wine, and soaking up the awesome and relaxing vibes!

    Bottle on ice and music on the lawn!

    We had a GREAT time here on Saturday, even though the weather was hot. Live music, food truck and a very lively atmosphere. Because of the event, they we're only serving bottles and glasses, which was fine with us since was our second stop of the day and we tasted at our first stop. We had the Albariño and it was delicious. Josephine our "wine angel" was so friendly and attentive, she definitely added to the experience. The whole staff was very welcoming. If you only have time to go to one winery, I would definitely suggest Restoration Vineyards!

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.

I will have to say that my star rating has a big portion to do with the experience we had which could have been determined by the time we might have gone. When we had arrived there and not a soul beside us was there for tasting (all the other wineries that day had lots of people). So it was a bit odd to walk into an empty facility with a very quiet bar tender / taster lady. She wasn't much for any conversation. We had been told it was fun, the atmosphere was friendly and the owner did the tastings and made the experience fun. But we didn't experience that at all. Now the facility was beautiful and being high on the hill, it made a nice overview of the mountains and the water creaks and ponds below. Very nice outside area. The inside is also beautiful and great since it's a house I commend them for making this so homey yet professional. Unfortunately we didn't have the experience we were hoping to, and the wine wasn't one we thought that was outstanding. I don't know I would come back, but if we do we want to experience it the way were told so we might look into their busy times and see what it was like. We were just bummed for our first taste of the day.
