Beautiful location and the fruit is excellent. They have a unique sorting system that allows them…read moreto size and grade the peaches with minimal handling, which leads to fewer bruises. And it seems to enable them to move peaches from tree to market or shipping very quickly. (I went on a tour of their facility during Peach Fest). They also have a commercial kitchen where jams and preserves are made. There is a little farm store where you can buy peaches, (and sample peaches), preserves, peach-related souvenirs, some packaged cheeses, crackers, wine accoutrements, etc. And peach ice cream in the summer...in my case topped with some chopped fresh peach. Yum. It is hard to write about this without also mentioning that there is a very good winery on premises. Colteris Winery makes a very good pink wine (Coral) and some surprisingly good reds. The location has a beautiful lavender garden that you can walk through, outdoor sculptures, the peach orchards, the vineyards, a walk to a river overlook, covered seating and tasting room. A lovely place to picnic, drink in the peace and enjoy peaches and wine. Sounds like a perfect summer day to me.

What a special gem in an amazing part of our country! I used their location to propose to my…read moregirlfriend, and I know that I'm not the first or the last to use High Country Orchards as a destination to start my new life! My first amazing experience was with High Country Orchards' owner and staff. The staff is wonderful. They were so helpful with making special accommodations for me in very little notice. The staff was on the ball and knew how to play a background part in special moments. We had a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers, and peaches all ready for my proposal. Now to the grub. I'm no wine expert in any shape or form. But I knew it tasted good. I usually don't like wine, but this was delicious. High Country keeps everything temperature-controlled up to pouring it in your glass. So, even though I'm not a connoisseur, I immediately trust that they know what they're doing. The peaches are delicious. Trust a slice of peach with a cracker and cheese. It's a tasty combination. Great people, great food, and a beautiful territory! There is an amazing look-out point that really captures the Grand Valley experience. There isn't anything like it. No picture can do it justice and certainly no words can paint the picture right. You just have to be there. I'm already excited to visit during different parts of the season to take in the view. As far as the price goes, I found it very reasonable. For a bottle of their wine, two keepsake glasses, cheese, crackers, peaches, and a couple of bottles of water it was in the $40 area. I've been to other places that can have very startling prices that can make you chuckle wondering what people think they're doing. But not this place. They know what's going on.

Ever since Alidas was bought out the quality has gone downhill. Last year I thought we received…read moresmaller peaches because of the damaged crop but according to my friends in the area there were plenty of large peaches. This year again we received tiny peaches in September. Alidas always had the biggest and best peaches that would arrive ready to eat. This year and last the peaches arrived past their prime with many so damaged (including mold) we couldn't salvage them. Shipping is so expensive and having to throw away 30% is not acceptable. Really disappointed.

All in all great local Colorado produce joint and the one star post has obviously blown their misunderstanding out of proportion in to a HATE review. Buy Alida's goods.

The winery is pet-friendly both indoors and outdoors, and they even provide water bowls for your dog, which we always appreciate. The outdoor seating is comfortable, with plenty of tables and umbrellas for shade. You also get a nice view of the vineyards. I think the views could be even more spectacular if a few of the trees were trimmed or removed and replaced with some landscaping. The mountains in the background are beautiful, and opening up that view would really make the patio stand out. The bartender was very friendly, took the time to explain the different wines, and helped us choose our tasting. They don't serve food, so be sure to plan accordingly. Overall, Carlson Vineyards offers a relaxing atmosphere, friendly service, and a great pet-friendly experience. We'd definitely stop by again.

Both couples got flights of five to share. We chose Dry Rosé of Blaufränkisch, Exodus, Tyrannosaurus Red, Calico and Peach Moscato.
